Answer Yes. It would be more or less of an adoption.
If the parent legally adopted the child they cannot undo it unless another adult is willing to take over their legal responsibilities as the parent. That is usually one when a couple has divorced and a new spouse wants to adopt the child. If you give up your parental rights in that case you will not be entitled to visitations.If the parent legally adopted the child they cannot undo it unless another adult is willing to take over their legal responsibilities as the parent.

For a step parent to have parental rights over the step child they would have to adopt.
yes
no rights none until the child is older and the parent can explain the reasons for giving up parental rights and then it is up to the child to make a decision to have a relationship with that parent
No, as the parent no longer has jurisdiction over the child.
A parent is no longer responsible for a child in the US when a child turns 18. Of course, a parent can also have rights terminated or turn the child over to a guardian.
If a biological parent gives up their parental rights, then the spouse of the other parent is able to adopt the child. The parent who gave up their rights has no say in the matter.
The ability to adopt a child as a gay or lesbian parent varies from state to state. Gays and lesbians have several options open to them when considering adoption. What you are wanting to do is know as second parent adoption. A second parent adoption is where an unmarried couple jointly adopts a child who is already the child of one of them. After the adoption, the child has two legal parents with equal rights. As you said the child's father has already signed over his parental rights, the first step in the process, and often most difficult has been completed.
yes
Yes, until/unless the child is adopted.
If you are the biological parent, then yes.
Termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
