Various things, but most are cause by flying debris carried by the winds or from objects that are knocked over. Occasionally people may be picked up and thrown.
Yes. People have been picked up by tornadoes. Violent tornadoes can pick up objects far larger and heavier than people.
Yes you could. You could inhale the debris that the tornado picked up. You would have to be relatively close, though.
