Can anybody explain how the 6502 does all of these complicated addressing modes, without using any micro code?

Please start reading here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_machine

How the MT15 CPU did use a state machine plus PLAs
for decoding an instruction and for generating the control signals
for ALU, registers, etc:

Now back to the 6502:

I hope, all this helps you to understand how the 6502 does it without microcode.
There are some people in this forum who probably can describe you better
and in more a detailed form what happens inside the 6502 than I can, sorry.
