Yes. Your parents are considered immediate relatives of a US citizen. Thus, you can petition for them on form I-130 and they can concurrently apply for adjustment of status on form I-485, even if they overstayed and their visas are now expired.

If you are at least 21 years old, you can sponsor your parents through the visa petition/adjustment of status process, and if otherwise eligible, they will get the green card. The fact that their visitor visa expired is generally not a problem.

Yes, you can petition for your parents and they can adjust status here in the US since they are your immediate relatives and entered the US lawfully.

Your parents should be able to adjust status here assuming they otherwise qualified to do so when you file the I-130's for them. They should file the I-485's at the same time.
