It is called an "oral contract."
In many cases, and for many instances, an oral contract is as good as the written one. The only problem is proving what was said and what was agreed upon.
The only time the contract becomes really important is when one of the party decides to not honor or disagree with it. For this reason, he said, she said, is not considered not trust worthy.

I don't know the word. But verbal agreements are enforceable. The problem is proving that someone ever agreed to something.

It's called a parol agreement and whether it is enforceable by law (subject to whether the verbal agreement can be proven) is based on the statutes where you live. Good luck -

Absolutely.
You just have to prove in some way that there actually was a verbal agreement.

A verbal agreement is an oral contract and can be legally enforced if it doesn't involve illegal activity.

Yes, if there was a witness... unless your opponent can prove that your witness is un-trustworthy
