The best way is to look at the deed for the property. It is going to be on file at the local court house.

No, you cannot legally sell a house if the title is not in your name. Only the owner of the title has the right to transfer ownership of the property. If you attempt to sell a house without owning the title, it can lead to legal issues and potential fraud charges. To sell the property, you would need to have the title transferred to your name first or have the legal authority to act on behalf of the owner.
Your house adress because your house is haunted!

There is no other 'formal' name for it. It is sometimes referred to as the "lower house of Congress" but that is merely a descriptive name and not an official title.
In that case, you are not an owner of the property.
Title deeds.
If your name is not on the deed, but he had a will that gave you the house, then yes, you can have the title transfered. Assuming the will is not being contested, and assuming there are no liens on the house. Talk to a professional at a title company, or a local attorney. If the property was in your husband's name when he died his estate will need to be probated in order for title to pass to his heirs. Title to real property must pass through probate in order for title to pass legally. You have no power to transfer title on your own.
It would mean you didn't actually buy the house. The purchase of a house usually goes with the land beneath it (other than a condo), and this would be described in the deed (the title) that you received at "closing" when you paid for the house. Therefore, if you have the deed naming you as the grantor, then the seller's name is no longer on the title. If you didn't get a deed, then you don't own the house.
You should get a quitclaim recorded by the ex-spouse if they are on the title. The mortgage in your name will still be payable. As far as I know, foreigners can have ownership in property in the US
If the house has a mortgage then you have to refinance. If the house is all paid off then you can go to a lawyer and have the name removed from the deed.
The Working title is god's ash tray, but that is unlikely and I read from a source that that will not be the end title
