No, you cannot get alimony if you were never married. There is, however, something called palimony, but it is very difficultto get.
It is depending on the husband income in order to determine the amount of alimony that is allotted and the time of marriage.
Definitely not. Divorce laws are different in every state. I'm a Texas divorce lawyer, but I'm not licensed to practice in California. Texas has only limited alimony, and I believe California is much more liberal with alimony.
If you were never legally married in California, the court would generally not have the authority to order you to pay alimony. Alimony is usually only awarded in divorce cases to provide financial support to a spouse after the end of the marriage.

As a means of punishing him for moving on with his life? Alimony would have been ordered at the initial divorce, not later.
You can lose spousal support if your boyfriend moves in with you. It is up to the courts to determine this.

It depends on the wording of the alimony decree. Generally, the alimony and the Social Security are independent of one another.

An award of alimony, if warranted, is based on need, ability to pay, and appropriateness. There is no calculation or formula. The Court would consider the situation of the parties, the length of the marriage, the conduct of the parties resulting in divorce, and other factors to determine whether alimony is appropriate, and if so, how much.
