Are the sentences correct and are "respected" and "seen" still actual at present?

John is an officer respected by all his co-workers.
John lives in a house seen from any point of the village.

Thank you in advance.

The first is definitely fine. Yes, John is respected at present.

The second is grammatically fine, and "seen" would be taken to mean at present. However, that use of "seen" doesn't sound quite right to me. While I'm not certain that it is wrong, I'd say one of the following instead:
- John lives in a house visible from any point of the village.

- John lives in a house that can be seen from any point of the village.


Taking into account your answer, I would suppose that
"the house is seen from any point of the village."
sounds akward but
"the target is seen clear, I am ready to attack"
"The dependences (lines) are shown in Fig.1. It is seen that both lines fit the process well."
sound natural. Am I right?

In the first sentence, your use of "seen" is fine, but "clear" should be the adverb "clearly", and you should use a semicolon as a separator.
- The target is seen clearly; I am ready to attack.

While the sentence is OK with those changes, it would be more natural to use the active voice:
- I see the target clearly; I am ready to attack.

The second sentence is fine.
