1. How do I keep other AI from Colonizing Planets in my system
Colonize them first.
If you can't do that, the only thing you can do is avoid making treaties, so you can intercept the colonizers.

2. Can a Ship Sit on "sentry" forever
Generally, yes. It doesn't use supplies if it doesn't move. The only exception I can think of is that I think an active cloaking device uses supplies while it's on, but I'm not sure of that.

3. Whats the easiest way to keep tabs on a system? I have a lot of occupied systems nearby and I want to watch the traffic flow and colonization
If you're only watching for enemies, put a ship on Sentry, and set Options to clear orders if enemy in system. F6 Ships/Orders will list all the ships; if an enemy enters the system, the order will clear.
If you want to watch for allies, too, just leave the ship with no orders, and use the Orders list to find the ship when you want to check the system.

4. Large System, 17 AI's, High AI
Is it typical to have to squash a few AI opponents early to keep expanding? This is my 3rd war I started in the first 100 turns, I am getting crowded,
An unmodded Large quadrant has 100 or less systems; that averages out to about 5.5 per empire with 17 AIs. You can't help running into somebody quickly with that many players.

Cap'n Q
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
