Pray. Trusting the courts is like trusting a dis-jointed foot, but God is bigger than your situation.
I am sure that it would depend on the abusive ex-husband.
There is no current law prohibiting you from living with a man who is not the father of your children. If you marry him, he becomes their stepfather.This in no way changes the relationship between the father and the children, he is not their ex-father he is only the ex husband. You may need to remind him of this, if he is worried about his relationship with his children. Unless he is abusive, the children need to see their father and continue the bond with him.
Yes. You have no control over who accompanies him to such events. If he is abusive toward you then discuss the situation with your attorney and take the matter to court if necessary.

There is nothing wrong with what she is saying because your children with your ex are her step children. It is doubtful she is saying this to be nasty to your children and you should realize that your children think of you and your ex husband as their parents and your ex husband's wife may not be well accepted by your children because children always hope their parents will get back together again.
Because he is abusive. Partner abuse is a treatable sickness, but not always curable. Staying with an abusive partner does not help them to become a better person.
Keep them away from the father and make an agreement with him not to be verbally abusive to your children
Unless he's abusive, an alcoholic, a repeat criminal, a drug addict, doesn't provide for his children or has a partner that is either of these - you can't. The father has the same every right to access the child as the mother.
First of all, if he's abusive, tell the police. Assault is a serious crime. Second, you can change your name and cut your hair off
Possible, but not likely for him to change on his own without serious counseling.
