    The best time to do any root pruning on these shrubs would be during winter when they are not growing as vigorously. It won't really affect them much, anyways, unless you are cutting through the thicker roots near the base of the shrub.

    Here is an article for more information on pruning these, which will also apply to any root pruning: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/cherry-laurel/growing-cherry-laurels.htm

    This is best done right after flowers fade, or early fall. Here is an article for more information on growing these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/cherry-laurel/growing-cherry-laurels.htm

    Browning leaves could be environmental, watering issues, pests or disease.

    Looks like Prunus laurocerasus cherry laurel or English laurel

    Townsville, North Carolina USA or Townsville, Queensland Australia would help.

    As with most shrubs, it is best to prune things in spring. It is still early enough that they will be ok, so I don't see a problem with pruning. But for most thing, it is best to prune in spring.

    From the photos, I believe it is Carolina cherry (Prunus caroliniana) or possibly Cherry laurel aka English laurel (Prunus laurocerasus).
    It will flower in early spring if not sheared.

    That is very unfortunate. It will not hurt the fence, but the hedge will not like it too much. I wouldn't move them, since they are getting established, and now would be the wrong time to do so anyway.

    The best thing to do from here will be to prune that side heavily, and keep it pruned so that it stays off of the fence. Eventually, you will have an area trained into an alley way. This will give it the best chance.
