Yes it is a contract. This is because it has all the elements of a contract. An offer from one party to settle the case for a certain amount of money and an acceptance of that offer. Both parties are competent to make the contract and there is a full meeting of the minds in a case like that. The settlement will call for payment within a certain period of time and if it is not made then, the person receiving the money has the right to declare a breach of the contract and either ask the court to reinstate the case or compel payment.

Can you sue after a settlement in small claims court?

Usually, once a settlement is reached in small claims court and both parties agree to its terms, there is little room to sue again for the same dispute. The settlement agreement typically serves as a final resolution to the matter. If one party breaches the settlement agreement, the other party may have grounds to bring a legal action to enforce the agreement, but it would not be a new lawsuit on the original dispute.

If a case was settled out of court for money and the person accused was innocent can the money be given back?

The money can always be "given" back, but that is not really what you are asking. Generally, settlement agreements waive and release the parties from future claims and future discoveries regarding facts. As such, unless the settlement agreement says differently, there will normally not be any obligation to undo the settlement agreement after new facts are discovered or confirmed. Also, in civil litigation, there is no "innocent" or "guilty" - only liable and not liable.

No, if the contract never existed than he/she should get a lawyer present to discuss the matter t hand. Certainly they can sue.

Paying rent and its acceptance certainly would indicate some sort of understanding and a contract could be inferred.

If you enter into a purchase agreement and place money down does the seller have the right to go back and increase the price due to a mix up on their end once this purchase is on paper contract?

They're on very shaky ground. You may have to pursue them civilly in small claims court but if both parties read and signed the contract, they should be bound to the quoted price. At the very least, a judge should find there was no meeting of the minds on the agreement and void the contract.
