1. Basically, yes. We are descendants of the 'survivors'- although 'survivors' generally refers to people who narrowly escaped, technically, anyone who didn't die is a Survivor.

2. If we take the meaning of `survive` to mean narrowly escape, then the answer is still yes. Pompeii is situated on one side of Mt. Vesuvius, near the sea. It is clear that many people who were in Pompeii died, but we can be sure that some were just leaving to go to the nearby port, or just returning. It is very likely that some of these people survived. Vesuvius is surrounded by villages and towns and therefore however far the devastation spread, the people who were on the edges are likely to have been injured but not killed. It is likely that some people and animals were killed by falling rock and lava.

What happened to the animals of Pompeii after the volcano?

Alot of the animals got away before it erupted because animals have heightened senses for some things than humans and they could sense something bad was going to happen. That was kind of a sign for the humans as well because they saw alot of the animals fleeing. but although some animals managed to flee, alot still got trapped by the lava and ash and there are shells of the animals in the ruins of pompeii. The animals were entombed in ash, debris and pumice, therefore DYING.
