Is it legal to park a car in front of a residence’s mailbox in AZ? Secondly, is it legal to park a car partly in front of a residence’s driveway?
A car has been parked in front of my rental home for over a week. Over the past
couple days, I have not received mail, and I have learned that this is likely due
to the car being parked there. I do understand that I can pick up this mail at
the post office.
Pertaining to the second question, a car is parked with part of his vehicle
blocking roughly one quarter of my driveway for departing. How should I take
action? Is there anything I can do?

Contact the police. A car may be parked anywhere legal to park, which does include in front of a mailbox unless that spot is "striped" or otherwise indicated for no parking. However, it is illegal to block any part of your driverway, and they can be ticked for this.
Also, contact the post office: there should be no reason why your mail cannot be delivered even if a car parked in front of your mailbox; the postal worker can park his/her truck, get out of it, and walk over to your box. The carrier seems to not be doing his/her job, and you can complain about that.
