If you aren't arrested, then you aren't charged, and so no, you have no right to an attorney. Police can detain you on site for a little while in order to make the arrest/no arrest decision. At any time you can give police an ultimatum: am I free to go? If the answer is yes, you're done - say nothing more. If the answer is no, you can keep pestering them with questions until you get clarity on how you can or if you can get out of there, but that isn't the same as answering their questions.
