Your question may depend on what state you live in and their laws. In Massachusetts, the 18yr old would be required to be on the insurance policy as an "occasional driver" in order for the car to be covered in an accident. I would check with the insurance company before letting the 18 year old drive the car. Your question may depend on what state you live in and their laws.

If you want him to have insurance cover in the event of an accident you should add him to your policy. Any body that is not on your insurance policy should NOT drive your car, if they have an accident you'll have big problems.
Everyone in your household must be listed on your insurance policy if they have a license. For example, if you live with your parents, you may not be covered if you are not listed on their insurance policy. On the other hand, if you live separately you could use their car with their permission and be covered.
Yes, they would be covered as long as they only drive occasionally. If they drive more than 12 times out of the year, they would need to be rated on your policy in order for them to be covered.
Anyone you give permission to is covered on your policy. Family members are certainly covered, even step children no living with you. Do not use this availability as primary insurance for them though. They should be listed on the residential parent's policy.
All drivers should be listed on your policy to be a covered driver. you should add your child to your auto policy for proper coverage.
No chance.
You do not have to live with them as long as you are listed on the policy.
if you are listed as a driver on their policy, you are covered
Yes, at least in Mass the insurance coverage goes with the driver and not with the car. However, if you and daughter live together, you must both be on the policy to be covered in the car that has the insurance policy.
You don't have to live there as long as you are listed on the policy.
I am an Insurance Broker - dependant upon where you live, your son's accident will be covered, either by your policy (considering you have adequate coverage, or his mother's, considering her coverage) Here in Canada, no-fault allows our own insurer to cover the vehicle, no matter the driver.
