If you are 18 you are no longer a minor and can choose to live with either parent (or neither).
16yo can not choose custodial parent at all. The court might listen to your opinion but that is it. And no, step parents do not have any legal right to the child.
NO u cant only in Greece
No, it's up to the court. However, the non custodial parent would traditionally become the custodial parent. The parent should always have first right to their child!

First, the child has no specific right to choose which parent to live with without a court order. As to this issue, the other parent could file an emergency motion for custody on the grounds of abandonment.

See related question, but you do not want to complain to family services, as the child will simply be put into foster care, than returned to the custodial parent. In less than 15% of the cases do they give the child to the other parent. The other parent will need to collect evidence and file a custody challenge. The child has the right to an opinion, but not to choose.
No he can not. A step parent have no legal right to the step children. This could only happen if the parents consent to it. A minor can not choose but the court will hear their opinion at 16. They might not follow it though.
Generally, yes. A parent has the right to choose who their child will spend time with.
In the UK, there's no set age when a child can choose which parent to live with. The court will consider a child's wishes, but the final decision is based on the child's best interests. Generally, older children's views are given more weight during legal proceedings.
The kid is not not an adult so the parents make the child's decision. But nothing says the parents will choose the right religion.
