Can a landlord collect rental while the house is being repaired?

This is subject to local law, so you might want to consult a local attorney, but in general the answer is yes. If the damage and/or the repairs do not make the house "untenantable" (that is, impossible to live in), then the landlord is still entitled to collect rent. Note that if the tenant is in fact still living there, it's more or less prima facie not "untenantable."
A tenant may be entitled to break the lease and move out if either the damage or the repairs make the house unlivable, but again, you should probably consult a local attorney to determine what exactly is required for this to apply.

Your landlord still has the right to evict you but if you show the court the receipts for such legitimate and essential repair, then your landlord will lose the case, and you can sue for damages of up to three months' rent abatement.

No. You have the right to ask questions about this matter as every tenant who faces the uncertainty of his landlord being under foreclosure. But remember: as long as the landlord has control of the property he can still collect rent from you and evict you if you don't pay it.

Can your son sue the landlord for being hurt by somebody else on your rental property?
In general a landlord is not legally responsible for the actions of the people who rent housing from him or her. If your son was hurt by somebody else who lived in the same rental property because the building was defective and so this other tenant came crashing through your son's ceiling and struck him, then there would be a case. Otherwise, I don't see it.
