I believe the density chances quickly to match Earth’s pressure.
But what else? Will it release energy enough to blow Earth up? Will its mass create some kind of an apocalyptical event?

You mean like…ALL life on Earth? From a single teaspoon full? I doubt it. Would it kill the drunk camper who picks it up and decides to use it to keep his sleeping bag warm? Maybe.
That teaspoon of neutron star material weighs a few million tons and should instantly expand without the gravitational pressure of the star.
We aren’t talking about the outer parts we talk about a core piece, wich is almost as dense as a black hole because its only little away from becoming one.
“A neutron star is the collapsed core of a massive supergiant star, which had a total mass of between 10 and 25 solar masses…” as mentioned in Wikipedia
So the weight varies, and not every “specimen” would be that close to a black hole.
