Yes, it is a criminal act. There have been cases of people arrested for this. As well, if you vandalized the person's site and left cruel comments etc, you could also face different charges related to harrassment.

It doesn't matter if it's Facebook or another type of page, it's still illegal.

Yes. You can sue anyone for just about anything. However you are unlikely to win. You have to show several things to even have a chance to win. You have to show that the comment was intentionally libelous and caused real harm. Hurt feelings don't count for too much. If you feel the comments were inaccurate, libelous (the writer knew the comments were inaccurate and intended to cause harm), and the comments actually caused harm other than hurt feelings (lost business, job, had to go seek professional help to deal with emotions) AND can prove the consequences were a direct result of the comments, then you may have cause and may stand a chance to win the suit. Of course you could win a suit and be awarded ZERO in damages. Or you may win a judgment and the defendant could just not have a nickel to give you and then you have to initiate procedures to collect. The proceedings could cost more than the judgment.

no, you cannot, maybe if you could prove it, which is almost an impossibly, once it is out there for the world to see, it is public property.

Yes, normally Facebook tells you if someone signed in on another device that isn't recognized.

Can an aunt sue for visitation in civil court- The parents have no good reason for keeping her away from me- The mother also keeps posting all kinds of things on Facebook about me that aren't true?

No. In some states grandparents have a legal right to petition the court for visitation but this does not apply for any other family member. Regarding the Facebook issue, Make certain you print a copy of everything that has been published on Facebook. If it's serious enough you can sue in civil court. You should report the situation to Facebook (after you have obtained copies). You should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and explain your legal options. You could also try your luck in small claims court.
