No. If the person wasn't licensed by the state to perform marriages then they couldn't validate the marriage license or certificate. Although the procedures may vary from state to state, the person performing the marriage must be licensed by the state or have some statutory authority to perform marriages. You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction.

Any fake or forged documents used would make the marriage not valid.
Your marriage will be legal if it was conducted according to the laws of the country in which you were married. These laws would normally require the ceremony to be conduced by an authorized individual who would require that a marriage certificate was signed by both parties, him/her self and some witnesses. Part of this certificate will be kept by the sate as an official record of the marriage and part will be given to the married couple as proof of the event. Thus the death of the preacher (the authorized individual) should not make any difference as the records (the bits of paper) are all that matter.
He's a TV preacher. Of course he's a fake and a crook.
In some cases no, if the preacher has a marriage certificate though he may ask to see one.
Yes, absolutely. Marriage is a legal contract, everywhere in the world. A marriage with someone who legally does not exist or cannot get married is void. What you must know is how to get its (legal) annulment. Call a lawyer and do it quickly.

If the marriage in Cuba was a legal marriage then yes it is legal in NY
Marriage has always been legal. Your marriage is legal only if you are legally married.
If the marriage is not done by someone legal such as a minister; pastor or justice of the peace and the person who married the two of you does not have a license to do so then you are not legally married and so no divorce is necessary.
