It really depends if they are issued visitor's visas. Legally, they are permitted to visit. However, practically speaking, they may not be issued visitor's visas if they do not have a strong basis for showing significant ties to the home country.

They can try but at a minimum need to persuade the officer that they only want to come to visit and will go back to their home country.

Yes, in theory that can. The consulate may weigh against them the fact that an immigration visa petition was filed on their behalf, but it is still possible to get a visa. You'll know when they try.
