No, and most states don't usually order spousal support unless the "displaced" spouse has been out of the workforce for a number of years and needs to look for work, or if the "displaced" spouse is diabled and can't work for some reason. In the first case the support is for a limited time only, usually time enough for the "displaced" spouse to get a job. But that obligation is your's alone to bear, a new spouse owes your ex nothing.

In most states no, but in some cases yes. They are usually extreme cases where the new spouses income is so large as to remove all financial burdens from you. For example, if new spouse pays for housing, all bills, cars, etc so that your entire salary is available for you to do with what you wish - the court may take that into account and allocate a larger amount of your disposable income to child support.
Good luck.

No. Your financial obligations to your previous spouse are just that...yours. Your new wife is not obligated to provide support for your previous wife.
