If the father's name is not listed on the birth certificate but the child has his last name what are the rights of the father?

Yes, if he can establish his paternity legally through a DNA test. Once his paternity is established he can petition for visitation or custody and if the mother retains custody she can request a child support order. A father's parental rights do not depend on the name of the child only on the biological relationship.

Does the unmarried mother still have custody of a child if that child has the fathers last name?
If you live in the US... The child having the father's last name has NOTHING to do with custody. If Dad is listed on the birth certificate as the father, then both parents have equal custodial rights until a court declares otherwise--you need a custody order. If Dad is not listed on the birth certificate, it will be a simple thing for him to petition the court to establish paternity and once that's done he can then petition for custody/visitation.
