No. Access rights are a separate issue, and single fathers have no presumed rights to the child. A motion must be filed to establish those rights.

The father has a right to pay support and to seek visitation rights. [BTW, the child's last name isn't relevant to this.]SEE LINKS BELOW
You can't. The child has the right to be supported by her father and they both have the right to a relationship with each other. The father should pay child support and also have a regular visitation schedule.
In general, the oldest child's right to support is not affected by the existence of younger children.
Child support is paid to the custodial parent. Generally you have no control over it unless you have evidence the mother is neglecting the children. In that case you would need to try to gain custody yourself or have the court arrange some supervision. The problem of fathers who do not want to pay child support over to their ex-wives is extremely common. However, the custodial parent has the right to decide how to spend the child support in any way that benefits the children, within reason, without having to account to the child support obligor. It is not "spending money" for the child. Child support is provided for help in paying for the child's needs that can include anything that must be provided for the child including shoes and clothing, medical and dental expenses, school expenses, rent, recreational activities, heat and utilities and food.
no
The right to petition for custody or visitation and the right to pay support. [Paternity must be established before any discussion of rights or responsibilities.]

No, but the new CP should get into court right away, get legal custody and get the order for support terminated. Initially, contact the AG with evidence that you have possession of the child. They can initiate a modification request. see link
In the US, at least, child support is regarded as a right of the child, not the parent. So yes... a child, even an illegitimate one, has a right to the financial support of the parents, and the mother can bring a suit on the behalf of the child.
Nothing if unmarried to the mother until approved by the courts. see link
She doesn't have the "right" to move in. If you decide to do this in lieu of child support, get a court order that recognizes this arrangement.
Child support and visitation are two separate issues. The father has the right to request a visitation schedule with his child. Visitation is not dependent on paying child support.
A mother is supposed to support her child through high school, as long as the child remains in school. Children are not required to support their parents.
Yes, there is no limitation on beginning a case for child support. It's unlikely that you will get much, or anything at all in arrears from the 5 years that you did not request it, but child support is the right of the child and each parent is financially responsible for their children.
Most states do not allow a child to collect back support as an adult. Although the right to child support belongs to the child, support is payable to the custodial parent to assist in the care and upbringing of that child. If the custodial parent did not receive that support, then she (or he) made contributions that should have come from the other parent, and the right to collect the back support belongs to her.
