Mother has sole custody in every state except Arizona. see link below
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.
If you live in the US... The father's parents have no rights to custody at all. The father has the right to petition for custody, but he won't be given sole custody unless he can prove the mother unfit. He might, however, be given joint custody.
That's selective according to individual state laws

Yes. The child is your baby. As long as your a fit mother the child cannot be taken away from you. If you are a minor, your parents still have custody of you, but you have custody of your child.

That depends on why the mother lost custody in the first place. The court must have granted the grandparents custody for some reason. If they have custody now you have to apply in court for the custody to be moved.
The mother is presumed to have custody unless there is a court order saying otherwise.
