Not quite.  But it happens sometimes.

Likely, but not necessarily.  Look up the message headers.  Your
(accurate) description of their intelligence implies they might've
failed to anonymize that properly, or they might live in a country
that haven't signed extradiction treaties with the U.S. so they don't
bother.

You're not required to, but you can report it to the FBI so that in
case those people finally get caught (criminals sometimes make
mistakes) their sentence would be a couple years longer.
