It sounds like you have more issues than the septic tank. One when you sell the home you need to disclose the issues you have stated. Have you had your own survey done? if not do so. You can also check with the city to see if your lot is big enough for a tank on your side of property. If this is so you can offer your home with a new septic tank at the time of closing

Yes, you will need to make full discloures in reference to the septic tanks location, it would be my suggestion is to visit the environmental health department to get a copy of you “approved” septic system, which will more than likely show where the leach lines are located. You may also may want to get a plat map of your parcel.
I would directly talk to your neighbor with your concerns and if you do not get results, spend an hour with an attorney who specializes in real estate law.
You need to protect your easment to the septic system and when you do sell pass the information to the new buyer with a complete understanding of the location of the tank, leech lines etc.
It sounds like your neighbor may have a unbuildable lot.
It would not hurt to talk with the city building department with your concerns.
Good luck.
