It is illegal in California, depending on the situation. You should seek legal advice from an attorney if this is harming you in any way, but it boils down to how much privacy one can expect to have while having the conversation that was recorded. California is an "All-Party Consent" state, which means everyone recorded must be aware and accept to the recording. In most cases civil and criminal charges can be pressed.
Yes, this would be illegal.
No.
No, it is illegal to record or eavesdrop on a private conversation in California without the consent of all parties involved. California is a two-party consent state, meaning that all parties must consent to being recorded for it to be legal.

In California the consent of all parties is required. Actually ive been told that is illegal and if you have it like evidence for a court case you must ask for permission
In looking at CA Penal Code 632, it looks like this can be done as long as the conversation being recorded was not intended to be confidential, and as long as the conversation could reasonably be expected to be overheard or recorded.

According to the Texas Penal Code "So long as a wire, oral, or electronic communication---including the radio portion of any cordless telephone call---is not recorded for a criminal or tortious purpose, anyone who is a party to the communication, or who has the consent of a party, can lawfully record the communication and disclose its contents. Texas Penal Code § 16.02." Either party can tape an electronic conversation without the other party's consent. "Under the statute, consent is not required for the taping of a non-electronic communication uttered by a person who does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in that communication. See definition of "oral communication," Texas Code Crim. Pro. Art. 18.20." Anyone can tape a non electronic communication as long as there is not a reasonable expectation that the communication is private.
As long as at least one person participating in the conversation knows it's being taped, it is not illegal to tape a telephone conversation in the United States. An illegal wiretap is when neither party to the conversation is aware it's being recorded, and there is not a court order allowing the wiretap.
