Having a child living with you in and of itself is not a justification for the court to grant legal custody of that child to you. You need to provide more details. If you meet the requirements of the court and if the child needs a legal guardian you may be appointed. You should consult with an attorney or an advocate at the local family court.

Physical custody means that a person (typically the parent) has the right to have the child living with them. This could be sole physical custody, or even joint physical custody in which the parents share custody of their child.
yes
You have to get a lawyer and file for custody. There are some agencies that can provide free legal counsel, contact your local child protection service.
Custody would normally go to the closest living relative, and if there are no relatives available, the child becomes a ward of the state.
Anyone with a child living with him/her should have legal custody of that child - it can avoid all sorts of problems with the child's education, medical care, etc.
What is the question?
If it is a condition of your custody agreement, yes. If not, no.
The courts will determine who gets custody of the child. The courts will consider what is in the best interest of the child.
mother has sole custody even if living with father
No. You need to contact the state that has custody to determine your rights. If you go and get the child you may be guilty of custodial interference.
No, both parents have equal rights to the child. If the child is currently living with the father, then he has established temporary custody. A court will need to decide upon a formal custody and child support agreement.
Yes, unless the living parent has a court order not allowing them to be with the child in that case the child would go to the next relative that is willing to take the child. The surviving parent will still have to go to court to have the custody awarded to him/her. After all, the court felt there was a good reason that the full custody award was rendered in the first place.
