Are in fauna deposit feeders?
Some are and some aren't. Infauna just refers to animals that live in the sediments. If they extend feeding appendages out into the water to capture prey (like mud anemones for example) , then they're not deposit feeders. If they remove organic matter from the sediments, they're deposit feeders. Most benthic infauna are deposit feeders.
Where is benthos located?
Benthos is a term for bottom-dwelling (i.e. on, in, or very near) organisms because they live on the seabed (what is known as the "benthic zone"). There are different classifications though: the epifauna live on the sea bottom and infauna live in the sediments on the sea bottom.
