Whatever last name the mother chooses. Foe example, my parents are not married and my mom chose to give me my father's last name, (since SHE was the one who just gave birth the mom gets the ultimate decision). However, I have a cousin that gave her child her last name instead.
If the father wants to give the child his last name, he can petition it to the court, and the judge will decide. I know this is a fact in Missouri!
If the parents have the same last name, then that name should be given to the child as well. If the parents have different last names, then the child can be given a hyphenated version of both parents' names. In some states, your choices may be limited.

NO. In most states the father of the child must be present at the time of birth to sign the birth certificate as the father of the child. It could, in reality, be any man who would be willing to take legal responsibility for the unborn child. A child will only automatically get the father's name if the two parents are married. Even if the father pays child support, the mother is not obigated to change the child's last name to that of the father.
anyones whos last name is Robinson
That decision is up to the parents. There is no law that covers this situation if the mother has not taken her husband's name in marriage.
A mother should give the child the name that will be of the most benefit to the future of the child. Sometimes it is best for the child to have their mothers last name even if the couple is together. I knew an unwed mother who gave her son her grandfather's last name because she saw it as a way to continue the last name of the last good man she knew in a child who could use a chance at a new life. All options should be in the table.
There are not any legal advantages one way or the other, however if the parents introduce themselves as Mr & Mrs "Jones" the child may be more comfortable using the family name. However, if the parents are not married, then why should the child make that commitment if they won't?

The estate of the last surviving parent must be probated in order for title to the real estate to pass to the heirs at law. If your parent died intestate (without a will) then their estate will pass according to the laws of intestacy to all their heirs at law in equal shares. You need to contact an attorney.
