no, you would have to go through the legal processes.
In most jurisdictions world-wide, adoption terminates the responsibility of the biological parent(s) to pay support. This is effective from the start of the adoption. Technically, it is effective at the instant the court order for the adoption is signed. While the adoption process is underway, but not finalized, the biological parent(s) is still obliged to maintain the child.

Typically, no; if you're under court order to do so, however, get an order terminating support (and setting the amount of arrearage, if any) - do not simply stop paying on your own.
The following assumes that this man has not adopted the child:1. If there is an order in place, payments will continue to accrue under that order unless/until the court enters a finding of non-paternity.2. If there is no order in place, the courts must first determine paternity before deciding whether to order support.
Yes, when either the mother or the state department of revenue files a complaint for child support against him. The court will issue an order that can include back support.
The man who has been named as the father and ordered to pay support would need to file a countersuit claiming he is not the biological father of the child/children. Documentation would be required to prove such a claim and/or proof of claims of any other reason he is not obligated to pay support for the child/children named in the court order.
If the mother knew the man was not the biological father and still attested to that fact she could be charged with perjury, a very serious offense. If the man was paying support and found out he was not the biological father he would need to obtain proof of such through paternity testing (usually DNA). He would then need to file suit against the mother of the child and present the paternity evidence in order to recover his financial loss.
No, you don't, however, you need to have DNA test done in order to prove that you're not the biological father.
That depends on the child support laws of your state and how long you have been the legal or presumed father. In most states if you have been the legal father for at least four years it does not matter if you are not the child's biological father. You will still be held to be the child's legal father and required to pay child support unless you can locate the child's biological father. You have to actually file a petition in court to end your responsibility for child support and you really will need a family law attorney to assist you. The attached link has a family law attorney directory. In most States you can file a Petition to Disestablish Paternity. You generally must be current on your child support payments to do so. With the DNA evidence you can get the child support abated if you are not the Father.
Biological parents who are married to each other do not pay child support to each another. They naturally share the expenses for their child. You have to let the court know you are married though and petition for the order to be dropped.
