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.
No. Check the agreement they are asking you to sign.
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.
Can you change agreement to a mediation after you signed it? What is the grace period?
Yes, you can take someone to small claims court based on a verbal agreement. However, it may be more challenging to prove the terms of the agreement without a written contract. It's important to gather any evidence or witnesses that can support your claim.

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.

In order for you to win in small claims court, you need to be able to convince the judge that its more likely than not that you had a verbal contract and the other party didn't fulfill their end of it.
Those words have been taken from a contract or agreement out of context. Examples of their use in contract language are as follows: The Buyer will pay one-half of the closing costs of the Seller pursuant to the agreement signed by the parties on 9/01/2008. The bank has no claims against Seller pursuant to the Note or otherwise.
No, if the contract never existed than he/she should get a lawyer present to discuss the matter t hand. Certainly they can sue. Whether they will be successful will depend on the agreement and what can be inferred from the actions of the parties. Paying rent and its acceptance certainly would indicate some sort of understanding and a contract could be inferred.
You better hope you had some written agreement or contract giving you some rights. Go to your small claims court to ask for continuation of the agreement.
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.
