Answer 1

I have done a bit modification.instead of table I have taken the links count and then iterate the links.Let me know if this work for you.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
URL = 'http://www.igrmaharashtra.gov.in/eASR/eASRCommon.aspx?hDistName=Pune'
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get(URL)
Select(driver.find_element_by_name('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder5$ddlTaluka')).select_by_value('5')
Select(driver.find_element_by_name('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder5$ddlVillage')).select_by_value('1853')

links = driver.find_elements_by_link_text('SurveyNo')

for l in range(len(links)):
    newlinks = driver.find_elements_by_link_text('SurveyNo')
    newlinks[l].click()
    soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source, 'lxml')
    td1 = soup.find("textarea", attrs={'class': 'textbox'})
    print(td1.text)

OutPut:

Answer 2

I think your mistake is possibly that link returns as a list and then you only tell it to click once. You may need another loop along the lines of

for x in link;
    x.click();
soup = BeautifulSoup(driver.page_source, 'lxml')
....

(and you may want to rename your variable as links so you can say for link in links )
