No, a parent cannot legally kidnap their own child in the USA. Kidnapping is a criminal offense, and taking a child without permission or in violation of a custody agreement is considered abduction. Parents must follow legal procedures and court orders regarding custody and visitation rights.
That depends on the child's age and the state (or country if outside the USA) where the child legally resides. No one can provide an accurate answer without that information.

Absolutely not. In the USA, once a person reaches 18 years old, he or she is considered an ADULT and is legally responsible for his/her actions.
That is entirely dependent on state law (or country if outside the USA) where the child legally resides. Most states have laws on the books allowing for such but most of them have periods of time when such an action may be initiated.

It doesn't matter where the parent legally resides, it matters where the child legally resides. If the child legally resides in the USA, if the state where they reside allows for voluntary TPR (termination of parental rights) they may petition the court for the same. In some states, only the state may initiate a motion for TPR and only under dire and emergency circumstances. In other states, a voluntary TPR may only be initiated if the child is being adopted. And in no instance does TPR terminate the obligation to pay child support unless and until the child is legally adopted. You need an attorney's advice.
To obtain a passport in the USA when one parent is absent, the child must have consent from the absent parent or provide evidence of sole legal custody. This can be done by submitting a notarized consent form or court documents along with the passport application.

Generally, not if the "child" is under the age of 18. In the USA, at age 18 a person is legally considered an adult and thereby is also legally responsible for their actions.
