Yes (I assume the rents). But your tenants could be removed once the foreclosure is concluded. Plus, possibly, though not seen, the lender could request an assignment of rents into the court.

Not if you let the tenant know before you rent.

It is no illegal as long as your tenant knows the circumstances of your current ownership.
