If you live in the US... Children are not property and therefore cannot be 'willed'. You can state in your will who you would like to receive custody, but the court is not required to abide by it. For example, if Mom has custody of a child, she dies and her will states that she wants her sister to receive custody, but Dad wants custody...Dad gets custody, unless he can be proved unfit, because Dad has first legal right to custody (Mom's wishes don't change that).
TANF eligibility is based on physical custody, not legal custody.
It is up to the parents to have the child baptized, assuming they have custody. It is their responsibility to bring them up in the faith.

Whether you will receive inheritance from your grandmother's house depends on the legal arrangements she has made. If your grandmother has a will specifying you as a beneficiary, you may still receive inheritance even if the house is in your daughter-in-law's name.

How does he have any visitation rights with a custody and child support order?
This could be because she is receiving disability pay and is not working because of her condition. Courts cannot attach judgments to disability pay, and so that is why you received the letter. If the situation changes and she eventually is back at work, the payments can start again--but there will not be any back pay for you to receive, since it stops now.
Yes they can. You would surprised how many offenders of sex crimes and murderers can receive these benefits. Anyone who is mentally handicapped needs ssi or ssd for income because they can't work. As long as you don't have felony or an outstanding warrant or warrants you can receive assistance.
Child support is not paid to the child. It would be payable to the person who currently has legal custody of the child or to the State if the State has custody.
If the custody order is done through a court of law, the sister will receive (and needs) child support.
