If Dad has court-ordered visitation then you have to follow it or you are in violation of a court order (and there are consequences for that). If there's a valid reason you don't want Dad to have visitation, then you can go to court and request that the court modify the visitation order. But be aware that the court will not do that without a very valid reason.

Can a child influenced by a controlling father refuse to return to full or shared custodial mother?
No. The father must obey the visitation order that was issued by the court that has jurisdiction over the case. If he continues to violate the visitation order and continues to exert negative influence on the child rather than trying to mitigate the situation, he could lose both any shared legal custody and visitation rights.

Can a parent who hasn't been in contact with a child in 10 years get custody or visitation?
It's highly unlikely that custodial rights would even be considered. However, courts seldom refuse visitation rights unless there is evidence of abuse or neglect on the part of the requesting parent. If there is not a court order terminating parental rights due to abandonment or another such issue, the parent will likely be granted visitation. It is quite possible, the court would order supervised visitation for a specified length of time. A lot depends on the reason for non-contact with the child. Courts tend to leave things as they are and not make drastic changes in children's lives unless it is what they want and better for them in the long run. yes, you can get visitation and/or custody but again, it depends on what kept you away (drugs, jail, etc.).

If the mother has full custody of the child and has dropped child support and the father has not been in the child's life for over half the child's life what right does he have to see her?
Child support and visitation rights are different issues. If there is no visitation order from the court the custodial parent can decide if visitation will be allowed and if it is, the terms, such as days, hours, etc. The non-custodial parent can file a petition with the court for visitation rights if an amicable solution cannot be agreed upon. Generally there must be a documented history of abuse or serious neglect before a judge will refuse a biological parent visitation rights. There are 2 different things. Legal custody and Physical custody. Regardless, child support and visitation are two completely different matters. He CAN ask the courts for visitation, it does not matter if he has been paying or not. If the father has no documented record of abuse with the child or any other violations then there's no right against him seeing the mother in which case he asks the court.

What if the mother has been under cps and lost her custody battle but has visitation rights can you refuse those rights because of child endangerment?
Only with a court order. If you feel the mother would present a danger to the child during visitation, you must file for a modification to visitation based on the same and wait for the judge to rule on it. If time is an issue, you can file for an emergency order. Otherwise, if you refuse the mother access to her child as outlined in the original visitation order, you risk being found in contempt of court and that can bring fines and/or jail time.
