Some states legally recognize common law marriages (after some years have elapsed), but you may lose your benefits if you have a legally recognized common law union. You need to consult an attorney to determine what laws apply in your state.

At the worst, why not have a commitment ceremony without legally filing for a marriage?

Some religious organizations have clergy that would be willing to perform a ceremony for you and your partner.

Should you attend a funeral of a person you did not know simply because your husband's sister is related through marriage?

Everyone has a different attitude to these types of situations, I can only answer this personally. I would not go to the funeral of someone I didn't know, simply because I know someone that knew them. The exception to this would be going in order to support the person that knew the deceased (i.e. your husbands sister) if they felt they needed it and you were both close.

Can you get in trouble for giving your baby a different last name from your husbands?

You would not get in criminal trouble for giving your child a different last name from your husband. The law, however, assumes that whatever last name you give the child, if the child was born while you were married (even if separated for years), then your husband is the father of the child. Not too many years ago courts would not even entertain evidence tending to show that someone other than the husband was the father of the child, as the social stigma of illegitimacy was so large as to outweigh the rights of husbands who were in fact not fathers, or of non-husbands who were. Today the presumption of the husband's paternity is a "rebuttable" presumption, meaning you are allowed prove someone else is the father, by genetic tests, for instance, This lets the husband off the hook for child support, and makes the actual father liable.
