Can the executor put the deed to the home in his name only and his wife the Realtor to sell the home?

No, and it could have tax consequences so I suggest the trustee get an attorney and do things by the book.

Is my father's estate liable if he owes money from her mother and brother?

You need to get the attorney involved. I could make an argument that the statute of limitations has run on those notes and so are not payable. However, that depends on the state's law applicable to the notes. I tend to doubt the debts are either valid or owing (I think your dad may have been trying to scam your mom), but you won't know until a judge decides.

If a Trustor told me I was in Trust and I later found out I was not, do I have any rights?

If you are names as successor trustee, then you presumably are entitled to "reasonable compensation" for your service. The oral promise is worth nothing unless it induced you to rely on it to your detriment. For example, if she said, "Move to Los Angeles and take care of me for the last years of my life, and I'll leave you $40K," and you did so, then you might have a legally enforceable claim.
