Yes. The custodial parent and/or if involved state child support enforcement agency can sue for child support arrearages. If a judgment is granted it can be executed as a lien against the non custodial parents vehicle or other property.

no
Yes, as they are separate issues. However, a custodial parent can request a child support order at any time. Also, some jurisdictions do not allow parents to decide that the non-custodial parent will not pay child support. The view is that every child is entitled to be supported by both parents. If the custodial parent doesn't need it then the payments should be placed in a savings account to pay for college. Also, if the custodial parent and child are receiving any assistance then the non-custodial parent will be required make payments to the state.

No. She has no legal responsibility to support the children. Only the biological parents have any responsibility for child support.
Child support is based upon the income of the parents. The custodial parent does not need to prove what the child support was used for. The custodial parent is expected to provide housing, food, utilities, etc. to the child.
Parents do not set child support; courts set child support.
Be prepared to pay. Children are legally entitled to the financial support of both parents. Even if the custodial parent doesn't "need" the money, it should be placed in a bank account for the child to be used for college, career training, a car, etc.Be prepared to pay.

In this case the other parent is no longer the custodial parent. If the child is now staying with another guardian, they are now considered the custodial guardian and child support should be paid to them.
You file for child support in the child's state of residence. All 50 states have reciprocal child support agreements and the agency in charge of child support collection will liaise with the state where the non-custodial parent lives to secure payment.
I do not think that all states are standardized yet but in Nevada it is 25% of the non custodial parents income for the first child and then an added amount of something like 3% for every additional child. The custodial parents income or marital status does not factor in at all.
