Unless there is an agreement between the state and the employer, the state pays unemployment compensation and each state sets its own minimum and maximum amounts payable to the claimant. What the employer DOES pay is a payroll (unemployment) tax to the state that covers unemployment and is based on the employer's payroll, turnover rate of employees, etc.

If you are fired from your job and you legally and fairly begin to draw unemployment can that employer call you at home and demand that you get off unemployment?

No, the employer cannot call you at home to demand that you get off unemployment. When you begin drawing unemployment, the employer does not pay directly - there is a fund in which employer deposits are being placed and that fund is where the unemployment payment comes out - nothing to do with your ex-employer. If your ex-employer is harassing you; however, you should call the police and BBB.

Does paying out unemployment insurance to a former employee increase the unemployment taxes for the employer?

The employer does not pay to the former employee. The employer pays unemployment taxes to the state he does business in, and the state, in turn, pays the benefits to the unemployed worker. If the employer has a large enough labor turn over, the state will raise his tax percentage payable accordingly.
