I am forwarding the routine used and the part of the database I am interested in, which uses georeferenced agricultural data.

require(spdep)
require(geoR)

dados = read.geodata("test.txt", header = T)
dados

coord=dados$coord

max(dist(coord))/2

grid = dnearneigh(dados$coord, 0, 880)

lw=nb2listw(grid,zero.policy=TRUE)


From this routine, I will try to explain more clearly what my doubts are:

1) The "dnearneight" function provides the neighbor list object. Is
   there any way to numerically visualize who the neighbors are?

"numerically visualize" is not clear. Do you mean "show me who is neighbour of whom"?

library(spdep)
example(columbus, package="spData")
col.gal.nb # print method for nb objects
print.default(col.gal.nb) # treating nb as a list
col.gal.nb[[1]] # neighbours of observation 1

See also the package vignette vignette("nb_igraph") or: https://r-spatial.github.io/spdep/articles/nb_igraph.html
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/spdep/vignettes/nb_igraph.html


2) The "nb2listw" function provides the "Characteristics of weights list
   object". When requesting the weights (lw$w in the routine), the n
   points are listed and values are assigned (who are these values?) And
   why are not the n values associated to the remaining n-1. Because in
   "attr (," comp ") $ d" it is noticeable that each point is associated
   to a different amount of points. For example, with the database used,
   the first point is associated to another 57, the second to another
   65. Why does this occur?

No idea, your data are not available. If you posted HTML, they were certainly discarded as risky. Post plain text only, and provide data on a link, not verbatim. If you set the distance threshold to 800, probably some observations were further than 800 units apart.

all.equal(attr(nb2listw(col.gal.nb)$weights, "comp")$d, card(col.gal.nb))

shows that in this case (row standardisation), the d vector is the same as the neighbour count per observation - it does not have to be so.
