Is there a way to Save a Que and then Load it for another Planet?

This is already in the FAQ, under Construction (section 4.4.6). It's spelled queue.

Is the list saved globally to be able to be used in any/all games or is it just for the current game?

Current game only. [Edit] Correction: Geo reports that (F2) Game Menu/Save Empire saves the queues as well.

Is the list static or dynamic regarding upgrades? i.e. Do I have to make another list when I research another facility upgrade or is the queue updated automatically?

Static, at least for ships and units; I'm not sure about facilities. Upgraded ships/units need a new saved queue.

Can I add ships or is it limited to facilities?

If you can build it, it can go in a saved queue.

If possible, what happens if an obsolete ship is called?

If the ship or unit is still shown on (F3) Designs when you turn off "Hide Obsolete", it will be inserted normally; if the obsolete design has already been purged, you get an error message: "We don't have the design for &ltitemName&gt."

Is there error checking if I try to build too many facilities?

Yes.
