No, actually. It's not only illegal, it's also very inconsiderate.
Yes, It is a Federal NO NO to open someone elses mail. and to impersinate someone to a Bank its also Federal NO NO. You just dont do stupid things like that.

You can report it to the police because it's illegal. And put in a request to change your address.. They should stop mailing your mail right away to the old location..
Yes. If it came to you by accident and you know it's not your mail, you should put it back into the U.S. mail system. At least cross out the address if it is "your" address but some total stranger's name.
Yes tampering with someone elses mail or mailbox is a federal offense.

No they can not. It is legal for someone else to pick up your mail as long as you inform the post office that someone will be picking it up. It is only illegal if the person picking up your mail opens it.
It isn't ok for anyone to open anyone else's mail. Apart from being a criminal offence, it is an invasion of privacy.
