Not usually, though there have been some survivors.
If you are picked up by a tornado it is most likely that you will be thrown by it and most likely die on impact. However, in a few cases people have survived being carried by tornadoes with only minor injuries.
Not many people do survive, and there don't seem to be any published figures on this.
Debris.
Yes. People have been picked up by tornadoes and sometimes carried great distances. However, no person has been carried more than a quarter mile and lived.
It is not possible to stand in the middle of a tornado. The winds would be too strong to even get there. People have been know to be picked up by a tornado and thrown several miles away without being killed.
Yes. People have been picked up by tornadoes. Violent tornadoes can pick up objects far larger and heavier than people.

For bodies that are picked up by a tornado, they are simply carried away by the winds and dropped somewhere else.
A tornado is made up of violently rotating air. It often contains moisture that has condensed as well as dust and sometimes debris that the tornado has picked up.
Objects can be picked up by tornadic winds and become deadly projectiles. Structures can collapse, potentially crushing people inside. People can even be picked up and hurled to their deaths.
Probably not at one time. While it is certainly possibly for a tornado to kill 70 or more people in a short period of time, most people who die in a tornado are not picked up, but are struck by debris or crushed in collapsing structures. In most cases of deaths, even in very violent tornadoes, bodies are found fairly close to where they originated. A large group of people standing in the open could get picked up by a large tornado, but this is a very unlikely scenario as people will usually be inside if a tornado is approaching.
