Might be time to get a tank divider to separate them. Although, typically, mollies don't eat tetras usually unless they are fry.

No. If I understand your question then they are not. They may feed on dead of the same species, but will not kill them and eat them. That would be more of a survival cannibalism than purely cannibalism. Given enough food of a better source they would eat that first.

Mollies, tetras, south African cichlids, African cichlids, wags, gold fish, beta fish, placo's, catfish, guppies, kois, goriamies, theres a lot more but I dont have the time to list them.

What tropical fish can live with betas?

Most tetras get along very well with tropical community fish such as guppies, platies, and mollies. Depending on the size of the tetra, you may also be able to put some of the more docile semi-agressives in there as well. To be safe, avoid putting anything in your tank that can fit your tetras in it's mouth.
