You would never file single if you're married, but you might be able to file separately. It depends upon which state you live in.
For example, in California you must file the same on your state return as your Federal with just a couple of exceptions. These involve active duty military and spouses living and working in another state. And, new this year, state registered domestic partners.
You have to look up and follow your state's rules.

That depends on the state. Many states require that you file the same way for state as you do for federal, but not all - PA for example does not have that rule. You can file joint for federal, and separately for state, although since PA has a flat tax rate there wouldn't be any advantage to doing that. When one of a couple has died during the year, PA requires that state be filed separately, although federal can be filed joint.

Yeah, you need to file in both states, but not for the reason that you said. The reason that you need to file in both states is that New York requires all NY residents, who made their money anywhere in the world, to file. Even if there was no benefit to her, you would still need to file in NY, because not doing so is against the law. This does not mean that you will need to pay NY. When you file in NY, you can claim a credit for the tax paid to CA or income that was taxed by both CA and NY. If this credit is more than the NY tax, then you would not need to pay NY. But you would still need to file in both states.

That depends upon state law. Some states require that couples file their state return(s) using the same filing status as on their Federal return(s). Other states allow the couple to file whatever way is most beneficial to themselves without regard to how they filed their Federal returns.

When all else fails and nothing else seems to work, read the instructions! You'll find them in your State Income Tax package. My state tells me I have to file the same status on my state as I file with my federal. In fact my state tax is based on my federal tax. Your state may be different, but I highly doubt it!

Assuming you are married, if you file jointly, there is no 'other' tax return. A joint return is filed as one return, so you cannot file one spouse separately, while filing again jointly with the other spouse.

Presuming you are married, yu can file jointly on one and married filing separately on the other, not single.
