Yes, but not likely. They will still have to leave the country and face a 10 year ban based on how long they were here illegally.

Yes. Paperwork. Lots and lots of paperwork to apply for citizenship.

Your wife is in love with a illegal immigrant and she is here through marriage of a resident visa Should you turn her lover in?

You should take care of your relationship with your wife and let the other stuff go. If the marriage is not working, you should do what other people do--ask her if she wants to work on the marriage and do what it takes to do so. Otherwise, you have to split. You cannot particularly hold her in the marriage if she is only there to be legal. Life is short!
