Over time the coating can deteriorate, and come off on your food. This way, it'll end up inside your body; it doesn't really do any serious damage though. No. It contains no fats, oils, etc. as agents to keep your food from sticking. The pans simply contain a Teflon coating that prevents food from sticking. It is not affect the nutrition of your food in any way.
