Father must petition for custody and court will weigh what situation is best for the child
Generally, custody orders end at age eighteen and the child can choose where she wants to live.
It is very rare that a Mother wants to give full custody of a child to the Father. To this all a Mother would have to do is choose to sign and give up her rights to the child in court.

Once a child is in state custody I don't think the mother has a say in who adopts the child. However, you may be allowed to meet the adoptive parents.
No. The biological father have rights. Unless the court find him unfit to have custody then there might be a chance.
If the son wants to I believe he can. In my state (Georgia) the child can choose who he/she wants to live with at the age of 14.
If he wants his parental rights he must establish his paternity legally by a DNA test. He can then petition the court for shared custody, visitation and pay child support. The mother has sole legal custody of her child until then.
Either parent can have physical custody in a joint custody arrangement. If there is a court order granting the mother physical custody the father should notify the court of the mother's incarceration and have that order modified unless he wants the mother to resume physical custody when she is released.
