Yes. A cake will rise from steam alone, as long as your mixing method creates enough bubbles before it goes in the oven. The normal mixing method for a sponge cake involves whipping the eggs and sugar, and then folding in flour and fat. If you do this, the cake will still rise, whether you add baking powder or not.
depending on the batter, yes. if the recipe uses flour then use self raising flour. other cake recipes such as a swiss roll use a whipping method which doesn't require any raising agents at all. hope i could help :)
The only other thing you could use would be beaten egg whites. You would have to experiment with it to find a recipe that worked. Very little flour, oil or other ingredients that would weigh down the finished product. I may play around with the idea and will get back to you if I come up with something.
You can not make cupcakes without some form of leavening ingredient. Baking powder is generally used, however if you do not have baking powder you can make your own if you have corn starch, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
To do this use one quarter the amount of baking soda to the amount of baking powder called for in the recipe, use an equal part of corn starch and double the amount of cream of tartar. For example if your recipe calls for 1 teaspoon baking powder instead you can use 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon corn starch and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.
You can make a cake without baking powder but it means that your cake won't rise so it will be flat and lifeless therefore I would always use baking powder.
Yes, look for a "whisked sponge" recipe - it relies on egg whites whipped to stiff peaks in order for the sponge to rise.

It's not the milk alone that makes a cake rise. If the recipe includes milk it probably also contains either baking powder and/or baking soda. This combination of a base (Baking soda or Baking Powder) and an acid (milk) causes a slight chemical reaction which causes the cake to rise.
