Yes, if the child was in your care full time and you provided her support.

To answer this, I would need to know how long the other parent lived with the child. The parent who lives with the child the longer period of time has priority in claiming the child.
If you lived with the child longer than the other parent, then you have priority in claiming the child. Exceptions would be
1. There is a court order allowing the other parent to claim the child.
2. The child supported himself and so is not a dependent.

yep, providing you are talking about claim as in a dependent claim on your federal taxes. See the rules about dependent that lives with you only part of the year.

If you have legal custody, yes you can because you had the child for more than 6 months.
