Type of ownership joint tenants with survivorship vs tenants in common?
By owning property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship, when one dies the survivor automatically becomes the sole owner and there is no need for probate. By owning as tenants in common, when one dies their half interest passes to their heirs by will or by the laws of intestacy. In that case their estate must be probated.
If two names are listed on a deed and one person dies does the surviving party automatically own the entire property?
No. The half owned by the dead person would go to their estate. However if the property is owned as joint tenants with right of survivorship ( JTWROS ) then the property would automatically be owned by the joint tenant.
Why does an estate need to be set up if there is a surviving spouse?
If you have no children and you arrange to have all your property held as joint tenants with the right of survivorship then you don't need a will or probate when you die. However, you should consider what will happen to your property in the case of a simultaneous death, or, upon the death of the surviving spouse. If you have no will the state will distribute your property according to the laws of intestacy after your debts are paid.

In Indiana if a husband dies without a will the surviving spouse is not on the deed of the house but the daughter is on the deed with Dad and there is no will who gets ownership of the house?
That would depend upon the laws of intestacy and survivorship in Indiana, and the exact words used in the deed. Without looking up your particular state: It may well be that the surviving joint tenant (the daughter) obtains exclusive ownership of the house, as the estate has no ownership of the house to distribute in probate of the intestate. If the daughter and father were tenants "in common", and not jointly, then the father's ownership passes to the statutory heirs by intestacy (typically half to the surviving spouse and half to be divided by all children or their surviving heirs, etc).
