Caution: This is not legal advice and I am not a lawyer. This is general advice and there may be exceptions from state to state. I do, however, have extensive real estate experience.
The buyer of the property pays off any liens. This lien must be disclosed by the owner, otherwise, you cannot close on the home and the sale is null and void. If money has changed hands, all moneys must be returned. (although it is a royal mess that is very difficult to straighten out.)

Yes, a foreclosure will, however, take priority over secondary and other liens, often everything except tax liens.
The tax lien foreclosure process is a great form of investing right. Purchasing tax liens and foreclosing on them gives you the ability to purchase properties at a fraction of their cost. Then you can turn around and either rent them out (and make some steady passive income) or sell them at market value for a tidy profit.
This can be difficult. There are many considerations. What type of tax lien is it? How old is the lien? How large is the lien amount? If the lien has the potential to jeopardize the security of the loan, then you most likely will need to take care of the lien first.
Tax liens, especially real estate tax liens, take priority. Other liens, such as judgment liens, take a back seat. A property tax taking is often for much less than the property value, and if the debtor does not redeem the property by paying the tax due, the tax sale buyer gets a huge bonus. The other liens, including mortgages, go away, but the debtor still owes the money.

It may be accelerated and payable from the excess proceeds of the auction held by the first lienor in foreclosure, if there is any excess. --- improve the answer: If seond lien is not a superior lien (e.g. Tax lien is superior than MGT lien), when the first lien is foreclosured the second lien will be washed out --- Not exists any more. However, a superior lien, even a second lien, will still survive the foreclosure process which means the property owner (who has bought the property during foreclosure) still needs to pay.
Tax liens are not wiped out by a foreclosure. They must be paid in order to clear the title to the property so that it can be sold. If the lender has to pay them it will add that amount to the amount you owe.
