The first thing you should do is call the bank--possibly the loss mitigation section. Locking the doors should not have come as a surprise if you have been answering emails and phone calls from your lender. Sometimes, there are things that can be done to get you back on track with the house payments, but you will have to contact them--an attorney, accountant, or consumer credit counseling service (be careful to get a good nonprofit one) may be a good idea.
You will deal with all the payments unless the house was in her name or she left money for you. The insurance purchased to secure the mortgage should pay out.
Depends on the local and state laws.
The mortgage payments must be made or the lender will foreclose the mortgage.

The bank will start foreclosure proceedings. They will file a complaint against you in court and seek judgment. The house can then be sold in a sale or auction.
The type of deed will determine what happens to the property after her death. If there is a right of survivorship, you will get the house. The mortgage company determines whether you keep the mortgage or have to refinance.
No you don't have to mortgage your house, however if you do mortgage it, you could invest the available cash into a Money Market Mutual fund and cut you monthly payments to almost nothing, or actually make a profit.
NO, not unless it is a total loss. If your house is being repaired by your insurance policy you must continue to make your mortgage payments.
Of course. Until you pay off the mortgage loan, you have to pay payments on the home.
Based on a 30 year mortgage with a 4.5% interest rate, you could afford a house that was worth $230,025
They are payments you make on your house loan every month. If you are looking for specific mortgage payment amounts, there are many calculators out there to use. I will include one in the related links. Payments can be fixed or variable depending on the terms of the mortgage. In some instances there might be a balloon payment at the end of the term.
No. A mortgage is a form of loan to buy a house. As with any form of loan, if you can't keep up the payments, your bank/building society can reposess the house.
