Since you asked for an opinion I will offer one. No, the child should not have the father's name since it is statistically likely she will have most of the responsibility for raising her child. If the father wanted the child to have his name then he should marry the mother and take full financial responsibility for the child. The mother will always be with her child. That may not be so with the father.

It is standard in the United States for children to have their father's last name, unless a child is adopted by a different couple. It does not matter if the parents do not live together. In Spain, A son will generally have his father's last name and a daughter will have her mother's last name.

No. You can name your children anything you want. Some people opt for a hyphenated version of both surnames: i.e. "Smith-Jones".
If he is married to the child's mother the decision is theirs to make, but if he is not married to her the mother decides the child's last name.
he should be able to simply take the child.
That decision is up to the parents. There is no law that covers this situation if the mother has not taken her husband's name in marriage.

Regardless of the mother's sexual orentaion the fathers role is still the same.
In Illinois in 1962, the child's mother could name anyone she wished (or no one), as the father, and give the child any first/last name she wished.
Should fathers in intact homes be barred from caring for an infant child overnight if the mother works, or otherwise is not available?
You dont have to marry the farther of the child but you should either get married when the time is right for you or get married when the child is young because when the child is growing up they will call the man dad unless you dont want that
Yes, but he should go for custody.

No, single fathers have no parental rights to the children until granted them by a court. see links below
There is no requirement to have approval. As they are not married, the mother has custody. Where she and her child live is up to her.
