Coragrph's answer is correct, but I wanted to add just one little detail. Several years ago, California voters passed a ballot proposition that added a section to the Family Code specifically defining marriage as between a man and a woman. The California Supreme Court has decided to hear a case challenging the constitutionality of the statute, so stay tuned.

No. Current California law allows for registered domestic partnerships, for same sex couples, and opposite sex couples over a certain age (65, I think).
Registered domestic partnerships provide almost all the same state benefits as being married, except joint filing of state income tax and a couple other specific ones. But they provide no federal benefits, because of DOMA.

Unfortunately, no. Massachusetts is the only state that has marriage equality, although New Jersey is not too far behind.
