A cat usually does not kill its prey by "ripping it open". Most cats use their long canine teeth to grab the prey by the neck. They then kill their prey by delivering a bite that severs the spinal cord. Once the prey is dead will they proceed to eat it.

Do cats eat mice that they didn't kill themselves?

When they are kittens, definitely. Their mother kills mice and rips the mice to pieces to show the kittens what to do. Later she brings injured live mice to the kittens to teach them to hunt. When they are adults, it will depend on the cat. House cats often will not even eat mice they killed themselves as they were not trained by their mother to do so.
