Well ATP is a nucleic acid, so the hydrolysis of ATP will be ADP.

The hydrolysis of nucleic acids in general is too broad of a question. If you encounter this question in an assignment or exam, your best bet would be to say that it releases the chemical energy in the nucleic acid, thus releasing energy.

Yes, hydrolysis does occur in nucleic acids. The result of this process in nucleic acids is nucleotides. One example would be ATP hydrolyzing to create the nucleotide ADP.
