Consult your lawyer immediately as you may have a case to get full custody.
If you have any parental rights at all, I'm not sure that your ex can "leave" custody to someone else without your involvement. In any case, you need to talk to a lawyer.
yes
If the mother has legal custody but leaves the state and doesn't have physical custody of your child then that must mean the child is with someone who doesn't have custody. I assume you are not married. In that case, you must establish your paternity in court and request legal and physical custody. If the mother has left the state without taking her child with her the court will certainly want to know who the child is with and will certainly consider awarding legal custody to the other biological parent, you.Perhaps you can convince the mother to consent to your getting legal and physical custody. If not sole custody, then joint legal and physical custody.You should consult with an attorneywho specializes in custody issues. The attorney can review your situation and explain your rights and options.
If she abandons the child, yes.
The non-custodial parent can file for custody.
The only one with custody of the unborn child is the pregnant mother. After the baby is born, the parent wishing custody or visitation can file for the same in the appropriate court of jurisdiction (where the child legally resides after its birth).
per my knowledge a child born during the marriage is both party's child as where he may not get full custody he maybe able to get join custody

Yes, if the parents do not "keep" their child with them that implies they leave the child with someone else. That someone else could petition the court for a legal guardianship and gain legal custody of the child. That would be in the best interest of the child and the person with whom the child lives should have legal custody.Yes, if the parents do not "keep" their child with them that implies they leave the child with someone else.

I think that an immigrant has the right to get custody of his or her child just like an American citizen.As long as they are fit and respondsible parents.
You, because you are the mother of the child. Unless you got the baby taken away form you and someone else has custody of him/her.
Yes, if the relationship breaks down and one leave they still have a chance for custody depending on the circumstances and how long they are gone etc.
