It's not known exactly. Most of the corpses that sank with the vessel but remained outside the hull of the ship have by now completely rotted away, even their bones having dissolved, although there are occasional poignant traces of where they once lay- there is, for example, a famous photograph taken by Robert Ballard of a man's black shoes with the barest traces of ankle-bones left in them.
Some people argue that the bow section of the wreck may contain a number of bodies that may have been prevented from completely disintegrating by their limited exposure to the sea outside, although other marine archaeologists and explorers disagree and say that there are probably no corpses left at all. Much of the deep interior of the bow section is inaccessible due to vast amounts of wreckage and silt, so if there ARE any human remains left, we may never discover them. Perhaps it's best if we don't, and they are left to rest in peace.

Yes but it is highly unlikely. The lack of oxygen and the cold water the Titanic is in would tend to preserve bodies or anything else organic. However, the current and length of time the Titanic has been submerged would probably allow enough oxygen to have passed through the ship's hull of microorganisms and smaller bottom-scavenging animals to have consumed everything inside.
