Unfortunately, no, the car is not yours even if you are paying the insurance. The ownership of a car goes off the title. So, if you are not on the title, it is not your car.

No. That is called commerce.

Extortion is obtaining money through force or unlawful threats.

An Alabama attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. It depends what the document you mention is.
