Sometimes when the guppies is born they can escape from their parents and live in hiding. Most of the time only 1-3 will make it. You have a better chance for them to live if you have plants and other items in your tank. It's very unlikely their parents can find them. After about a week or two they will be almost fully grown and come out of hiding.

Guppies are in the family Poeciliidae - all members of this family are exclusively livebearers. They do not lay any eggs at all. If a female releases eggs, she is aborting a pregnancy, because of very poor conditions or stress. (This happens often when a pregnant fish is moved to a new tank.)

Yes they do because they are livebearers meaning they give live birth.

Platies always have live birth, but occasionally a fish will be born just after hatching inside it's mom and will still have a bit of eggshell.
