Lets say I query for some Entity and store it to a variable. 

List<RS2Object> visibleTrees1 = objects.filter(
  new ContainsNameFilter<>("tree"),
  rs2Object -> !rs2Object.getName().contains("Tree stump") &&
  rs2Object.isVisible() &&
  myPlayer().getPosition().distance(rs2Object.getPosition()) <= 5
);

Rs2Object myReference = visibleTrees.get(0);

For how long is that instance (myReference) valid for interaction events?

If I leave the area and come back, can I still use the instance I queried before? Or has it gone stale and need to be re-queried? 

I think the answer is until I walk far enough to hit a loading screen. The RS would get the set of objects in the newly loaded game area which would then be intercepted by osbot and made available through the api. The instances from the previous area would be available to the JVM for garbage collection. 

Going to test that hypothesis

Seems the be the case. I walk away, trigger a load then the hashcode of the instance changes when I come back.

Same situation for if the entity is consumed (Tree chopped)

Until it unloads or if it's not there anymore I believe
