They store food in their cheek pouches, go to a safe place and remove the food. Holding it with their front paws, they bite off small chunks and chew and swallow the food. Their front teeth are quite large so they use them to bite and their molars to grind up the food before they swallow it.

Do squirrels mourn the death of another?
I have observed this kind of behavior in fox squirrels on a number of occasions. I have seen squirrels dragging the dead body of another squirrel to the side of the road. The squirrel then remained with the body for some time nudging it, lying next to it and attempting to engage it in play. I have seen Squirrels defend the dead body of another squirrel against other animals and even charge me if I approached.

This is normal in most people. The body turns off the salivary glands while sleeping, thus resulting in a dry mouth. Also, some people breath through their mouths while sleeping. The moving air further dries the mouth.

No, they come out of a small tube under their body close to the tail fin called the ovipositor.
