Yes. If you were born in the US, you are automatically a citizen. If you were born outside the US, and one parent is a US citizen who qualifies for residency, you will be a US citizen, you will only need to have proof of your birth and mother's citizenship that you get from the US Consulate in the country of your birth.

The Congressional Research Service has stated that "the weight of scholarly legal and historical opinion indicates that the term [natural born citizen] means one who is entitled under the Constitution or laws of the United States to US citizenship 'at birth' or 'by birth' which includes any child born 'in' the United States, even to alien parents (other than to foreign diplomats serving their country), the children of United States citizens born abroad, and those born abroad of one citizen parent who has met U.S. residency requirements."

No, not unless they are born in the United Kingdom.

There are restrictions based on criminal record, etc, but in most cases, citizenship can be obtained. This is due to a change made in 2006. Prior to 2006, only children born after 1983 could apply for citizenship through their mothers.
