Yes she can.
Yes, if you both earned enough credits to qualify for Social Security, then you can each collect your own benefits. To qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, you must have earned 40 credits (approximately 10 years of work). You can actually collect your own benefit as early as age 62, but you won't receive your full benefit until you reach your full retirement age. Once you are at your full retirement age, you can choose to collect either your own benefit, or the spousal benefit, whichever is higher.

Neither relies on the other for eligibility. You have to qualify for each of them as they are separate programs with their own rules.
No. A dead person cannot be sent social security and you cannot collect social security for another person, especially a dead one. ADDED: The above answer is in error.
