Oo
yes
No, the custodial parent does not have to work to get their support. The support goes from the child's other biological parent.Ê
No. She has no legal responsibility to support the children. Only the biological parents have any responsibility for child support.
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.

no
A custodial parent may have to pay child support if his income is significantly higher than that of the non-custodial parent based on the non-custodial parent's "parenting time" percentage.
It seems unlikely that a non-custodial relative would have "standing" to request a change in child support.
In general, support is a percentage of the obligor's net income and is not affected by the custodial parent's income. A custodial parent who petitions for an increase in support would presumably have to explain to the court why s/he quit working.
