No, child support is only owed to the custodial parent/guardian. If the grandmother has become the custodial guardian, child support will be owed to her, instead of the mother.
A child is not property and continued "possession" does not have meaning with regard to rights. Regardless of how long the grandmother has been taking care of the grandson, she has legal rights to the child only if the mother, or the courts, formally granted her custodial rights. If the grant of custodial rights was never made, then the grandmother has no legal right to interfere with the mother resuming custodial care of the child. (Presuming the mother has not lost custodial rights to some other person or institution.)
Yes, if the father is the custodial parent. It works just the same as when the mother is the custodial parent. The non-custodial pay child support based on their income and other factors.
if she is non-custodial, she can move anywhere she chooses
Depends on your state, but odds are that you cannot. Child support is normally for a custodial parent. If you no longer live with that custodial parent, and are 18, you are an adult, not a child. Thus, you are not technically entitled to child support.
The custodian of the children is entitled to the child support payments. The only way to keep the mother from getting the child support payments would be to have the grandparents petition the court for custodial rights - which could be extremely difficult, depending on your state.
no
Child support is paid to support the child and follows the child; it is paid to the child's custodial parent, or to a guardian. So if the mother has lost her rights, she is no longer custodial and therefore may no longer have charge of the funds. Child support will still have to be paid though and this time also by the mother, to the one now taking care of the child. If the child is being adopted you pay until the adoption is finalized.
A custodial parent may have to pay child support if his income is significantly higher than that of the non-custodial parent based on the non-custodial parent's "parenting time" percentage.
If the non-custodial mother was responsible for full child support before remarrying, that responsibility will continue until the court says otherwise. The court will consider the financial condition of both the non-custodial mother and of the custodial father in deciding whether to continue to require full child support.

Child support does not belong to the child but rather to the custodial parent to help compensate for the cost of raising the child until he or she is 18 or no longer attends school as a fulltime student. The custodial parent can however seek payment for back past child support from the non custodial parent.
