Not necessarily. The grandmother will have to either contact Child & Family Services and/or the court to be awarded legal custody of the child.
It's not custody, it's guardianship, and there's no cost.
Not exactly a matter of age, although that is important. The person signing has to have legal guardianship over you ( assuming you to be a minor ). You might want to look up the meaning of the word "guardian", too.
If the order was temporary, and you agreed to it, you should file a motion with the court to have the guardianship dissolved and the children returned. The judge will probably hold hearings and hear argument (if any) regarding the issue.
You file a child in need of care motion with the court.

No. Nor in any state. Now a person could have a note from a parent authorizing him/her to care for the child in the parent's absence. But that is not the same thing as "legal guardianship". More like "long term babysitter".
If you are talking about signing a marriage license as a witness, the laws for witnessing are the same as they are for opposite-sex couples.
If this is guardianship, a simple notarized letter stating the fact, along with exact parameters and limitations of any potential interference on your part, plus a notarized Power of Attorney over the child.
No. Turning over the guardianship of a child is something that must be done via legal means and requires court action and possibly an investigation by Social Services or whatever it's called in your state.
There is no difference between a man signing and a woman signing.
