No, if you want any laws to apply other than you own amicable agreement you have to have orders from the court first. Orders can be received based on your amicable joint motion to the court or by your own motion requesting such arrangements.

If by "no set custody" you mean that there has never been a court order allocating specific parental responsibilities concerning where a child will live, then no, statutory provisions concerning relocation do not apply. If there has been a court order, the rule apply even if the order is silent about relocation.

As long as there is no existing Court case in place fir dissolution/legal separation or parenting responsibility/paternity either parent can remove a child from the state. Once a Court case is in effect, a mandatory protection order is in effect that prohibits removal from the state without permission of the other party of permission from the Court even if the parenting time schedule is not clearly defined.
