It depends. If it was agreed to in court, then that is all that is needed.

It depends on the Judge, but generally the answer is no- unless your attorney signed your name with your permission. I suggest you communicate with your attorney or call the court and speak with a clerk regarding the procedure of your particular court.

If it was signed by your attorney that is sufficient, the order is effective when entered and signed by the judge.

It sounds improper if any agreement/memorandum went through without your signature or consent. But if you are meaning that an actual hearing was held and for some reason you were not present but your attorney handled the hearing on your behalf, and the result of the hearing has now been reduced to writing in a temporary order, only the judge signs that order not the parties and it is valid. You should resubmit with more information or otherwise consult an attorney (not your current one!) to discuss further.
