Yes, the father does get first claim, in order for the child to be adopted by someone else, he needs to give up his legal rights as a father to the child.

An unmarried mother automatically has all rights to her child unless the court modifies them. In some cases the modification is almost automatic - for example, if a 12 year old girl gets pregnant and has a child, the court may appoint an adult as the guardian and allow them to make decisions on behalf of the child whether the mother agrees or not.
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he can establish his paternity through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.
Because the mother leaves the state does not change who the father of the child is. Yes, the father is still required to pay child support.
Single fathers have no assumed legal rights to the child, so he can't do anything except pay child support.
