Ans1:The taco sauces helps clean pennies by killing the bacteria, with an ingredient found in most taco sauces, or hot sauces, called capsicidins (see link) which are thought to function as antibiotics. This may make the penny more sanitary. Ans2:Taco sauce often has vinegar (acetic acid) in the recipe. The reaction of vinegar with the copper compounds that tarnish the penny produces water-soluble copper acetate.

I have heard that the Dave's insanity hot sauce is so hot that it is able to clean off driveway grease better than any other cleaner?

The ability to clean off driveway grease has effectively nothing to do with the "hotness" of a hot sauce, and I wouldn't expect any hot sauce to do a particularly good job of it, certainly not better than, say, turpentine. So, while you may have heard it, the person you heard it from has no idea what they're talking about.
