Yes, you are a month to month tenant. All they have to do is give 30 days notice-assuming you are paying your rent. Anyone can be evicted. Do you really think that someone lets you rent their property and you can do what you want with no consequences. Many times the apartment is sold and the new owners want to fix it up and charge more rent so they request the present landlord to get rid of all renters.

Even without a lease, you're considered to be on an 'oral month-to-month' lease. A landlord can still evict even WITH a rental agreement in place, if he or she has good enough reason. However, the reason has to be a valid one. You also cannot be kicked out of your residence without due process.
The landlord MUST follow protocol in order to evict you. Simply telling you, or giving you a letter, is not enough to evict.

In a case where no agreement has been signed your state laws should take over. I would contact someone in your local housing department or go online to your state's website and try navigating that for your answer. I would suspect your landlord can kick you out and that 30 days is typical for the eviction.

Yes. In most states, a month-to-month tenancy requires only thirty days notice to terminate the tenancy. Absent a written rental agreement, you fall under the 'statutory agreement rules' spelled out by your state's statutes.

Yes. You paying rent to him, and his accepting rent from you is a rental agreement. It doesn't have to be written.

Yes, the eviction is the same, you don't need a formal agreement to get booted.

Certainly. Your tenancy is called a "tenancy at will", and (assuming that rent is paid monthly) can be ended by either party, for any reason or no reason, on one month's notice.

I would say yes!
The rental agreement protects/serves you as much as it serves them.
Good luck,
