The at fault driver always has the primary liability for the damages they cause in an accident. (The guy who rams the other guy).

An unlicensed driver will probably get cited for not having a license and may even get their car impounded, but is not automatically at fault. The person that the police and insurance company determine caused the accident would be at fault.

You must be licensed to drive, or have a permit and a licensed driver with you. Otherwise, there are legal consequences for that driver. The insurance company may not pay for any damages depending on the policy.
If an unlicensed uninsured driver has consent of the car owner to drive in a lot and is in an accident does the driver at fault still have to pay?
Yes, (subject to policy exclusions and your state law regarding uninsured unlicensed drivers), the person that is negligent, at fault is the one responsible for the damages to the 'innocent' party. Regardless of their licensing/insurance in most cases.

Will the insurance company pay for the damages caused by their driver if the injured victim is driving unlicensed and the car has been totaled?
Let's see if I can follow this. Insurance company A is at fault because of actions caused by driver A. Driver B who is not at fault is injured, but is unlicensed, and Auto B has been totalled. Insurance company A is going to have to pay damages to Driver B for property damage as well as for injuries because Driver A is deemed at fault. The fact that Driver B is unlicensed is a non-moving violation and Driver B will have to pay a substantial fines for these issues.
