In Ohio no. I dont know what the laws are in other states. Anything that was yours before the marrage is still yours. Anything you bought together is fair game. * In all US states any property obtained before a marriage is solely owned by the person who purchased it. The exception is, if the spouse was added to the title/deed to the property.
In a divorce, it could happen. Have her sign a prenup.
Whomever claims the other spouse would claim the house.
The spouse always inherits the possessions of the other. A will would also decide who get's what.
Whether or not your spouse is employed (or, indeed, whether or not you have a spouse) has no bearing on unemployment benefits in any location I'm familiar with. If you lost your job in a way that would allow you to collect unemployment, then you can collect unemployment. If you didn't, then you can't. It's pretty much that simple.
As a general rule, the surviving spouse can at least claim his/her community property interest in the property; the balance of the prop interest would be subject to claims by the decedent's heirs at law (children, siblings, parents, etc.). If there are no such heirs at law, then the surviving spouse should be able to claim 100%.

Yes, provided that there are no other impediments to a marriage, the surviving spouse would be free to marry.
==One Answer== Spousal election is the method used in certain states for a spouse to claim a portion of the estate of a deceased spouse who disinherited them by will. Generally the disinherited spouse can elect to claim a portion equal to what they would have received if the decedent had died intestate.
Buying a house together indicates that the house would be marital property. A waiver signed before purchase means that either spouse is relinquishes any claim to the property, should the marriage end.
You can use "spouse" in the same way you would use "husband" or "wife". For example, "James had to file a claim for his spouse and another for his children."
Yes!
It is illegal to marry someone else if you are not divorced from a previous spouse. The charge is bigamy. Also, the second marriage would be invalid.
