You will need to see an attorney to determine the answer to this question. It will be entirely dependent on the state law in the state where your father resided before his death. When you visit with the attorney, you should take a list of your father's living and dead relatives including spouse, children, and parents. It is helpful if you mark the ones who are deceased in some way. In addition, if you know what assetts he owned and where they are held (bank, insurance, stock broker etc.) make a list of that also. Since his debts must be cleared, you should make a list of the debts of which you are aware. Finally, if you father died by any means other than old age, you should be prepared to relate the circumstances to the attorney.
No, you can't. First, you can't sue a parent for child support. Second, there is nobody to collect it from since your father has passed. However, if your father has an estate you could contact the attorney handling the estate or a private attorney to determine if you have any rights in his estate as an heir at law.

If your birth father allowed your step father to adopt you, you do not have rights to your birth father's estate where I am sitting; however, 10 feet behind me you do. See a lawyer.
That will depend on what the will says. In most cases, the bulk of the of estate would be expected to go to the spouse.
If he is not the natural son of the father, no. He is not a descendant and therefore has no rights to it. The divorce decree would have severed all of the rights between his mother and your father.

If your father bequeathed his estate to his second wife, typically, the estate would pass to her heirs upon her death, unless specified otherwise in the will. Since the second wife has a child from a previous marriage who was not adopted, that child may have a claim to the estate, depending on the laws of inheritance in your jurisdiction. You may have rights as a biological child if there are no surviving direct heirs or if the estate is not fully transferred to the wife's heirs. It is advisable to consult with a probate attorney to understand your specific rights and options in this situation.
