no, anything on a employee is confidential. but if someone calls and ask "is Jane doe there? they can say "yes," and ask if you would like to leave a message. but they don't have to give out any data if they don't want to.
Have to, no. Can, yes.
Because of many potential problems, many employers today as a matter of policy, will only agree to confirm you were an employee and the dates of your employment. (And virtually all go at least that far).
Also, consider form many it may be better that an employer states they do not provide references or information on past employees as a matter of policy...than give what they feel is an honest response (that may not be complimentary).

Answer A potental employer can ask any questions they deem fit
What if a potential employer asks for performance appraisal from past employer?
If you are asked for a performance review from a past employer then you should reach out to your former manager. If you can't get a performance review, then you should use the manager as a reference.

Tell me the reason why you wanted to leave your present employer?
When you are asked a question as to why you wanted to leave your present employer, it is important not to speak badly about your employer. Discuss reasons such as wanting to be challenged, or looking for a career change. Stay positive and avoid negative talk.
Do I have a case if a potential employer denies me employment based on a false claim from a previous employer?
This is a legal question which WikiAnswers does not engage in. It's best asked of an attorney or legal aid society.
Is it wise to tell a potential employer that you were terminated from your last job?
Yes, if you are directly asked. Either way, do not lie. If your application reads "why did you leave your last position" you do not have a choice. You have to tell the truth. You do not have to volunteer the information if you are not asked.
How do I answer references name and address?
You have to ask someone (a previous employer for a work reference or someone who knows you well for a personal reference) if they are willing to supply a reference for you (this is the polite and courteous thing to do). If they are willing then you write their name and address on your application where this question is asked (stating whether the reference is personal or work related).
How does the advertised position fit into your career plan?
You may be asked in a job interview how the advertised position fits in your career plan. This is an opportunity to give a potential employer an idea what you are capable of.
Can you list someone as a job reference without their knowledge?
Yes, you can list someone as a job reference without their knowledge. It is a normal expectation that if you have worked for someone (or with someone) previously, you can mention that fact, and your former employer (or coworker)should be willing to confirm it if asked.
What is the present tense of asked?
The present tense of asked is ask.
Tell us something about you that you believe makes you right for this role?
