Other people have already answered your questions, and I agree with them:
(1): probably, but not necessarily; they could choose a different license for their contributions, though it would be unlikely to get merged
(2): no, they still have copyright on their changes unless they reassign it
But if the repo was GPL then their contributions would automatically be GPL also
