It depends on the state you live in, but in many states the case can be made for willing your visitation rights to another party. In some states there are cases on the books that have won. The other advantage to doing this, even in states where it may not be recognized, when the ex tries to fight it, they look like a real bonehead in the eyes of the judge, who can often make a case for the psychological well being of the child. The argument can be made that the child would be damaged if they lost a parent and a step parent they had bonded with at the same time.

No, the rights to visit are granted to the person by the court. Once they pass away the rights disappear also.

Sounds like you need to go to mediation services in your county court system. Its a free service and if all the parties can come to an agreement it will be put in writing and made a court order. If you have this service in your county. Call the courthouse they will tell you how to proceed.

You can will your kids to whoever you want to. If it is something you do before you die and signed by a lawyer. Every state has their own thing. I would call and see a lawyer and find out for sure.

No, because that is not a transferrable interest. The interest no longer exists once person A dies.
