lets say I some basic crud below
CODE

default
{
  if(TRUE) state another;
}

state another
{
  state entry()
  {
    handle = llListen(0, "", owner, "");
  }
  if (TRUE) state default;
}

now does this keep adding update more listen filters every time it goes to the another state? Or is the Listen filter removed everytime it leave the another state? or should I being adding in a state_exit and llListenRemove(handle)?

whenever you change states all the listens from that state are removed automatically.

off topic - be aware that "if(TRUE) state XXX" is a hack that is only needed in functions (and should be avoided even there)

within event-handlers, just use
CODE
default
{
  state_entry()
  {
    state another;
  }
}

state another
{
  state entry()
  {
    handle = llListen(0, "", owner, "");
    state default;
  }
}
