Do the kids make fun of him for having your maiden name? Did you give him custody of the child? Is he his guardian? If so, then yes.
No, as he has no legal rights to the child even if he sign the certificate himself. You will need to file for custody. see links below.
The unmarried father must file a petition in the family court to establish his parental rights legally. Once established, he can request visitation rights or custody through the family court. If the mother retains custody he will be granted a visitation schedule and will also be subject to a child support order.By not establishing his parental rights legally at the time of birth, the unmarried mother has freedom of movement. Once she moves with the child to another state it will be much more difficult and costly for the father to pursue his parental rights.

If you have Joint Legal Custody, then neither parent can physically change residences without the approval of the other. If, per the question, the daughter is living with the father, or the father has "primary" custody, then you can move wherever "you" want, at least in my perception.
An unmarried father must establish his paternity and arrange for a custody hearing if he wants custody. Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity has been established the father can request visitations, joint custody, full custody or the court will set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child if she is to remain in the custody of her mother. The court will schedule a hearing and issue an order that is in the best interest of the child.

mother has sole custody even if living with father
The childs' father, married or not. Your relationship to the father is irrelevent. The father is the first on a long list of family members. Create a living will if that is not acceptable.
That answer depends on several factors including the mother's age, ability to provide for the child and the environment where the child will be living. If a father is named on the birth certificate or parentage established after the fact in a court of law, the father has as many rights as the mother in terms of custody and support. Under Connecticut law, an unwed mother with no father legally designated is presumed to have sole custody unless proven otherwise or amended by other conditions as outlined above.
not even the fathers living here have a good chance of that, so no.

Custody would normally go to the closest living relative, and if there are no relatives available, the child becomes a ward of the state.
