Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-sal?mu ?alaykum wa-rahmatull?hi wa-barak?tuh.
1) The bodies of the Prophets are preserved and remain intact in the grave. This is mentioned by the Prophet Sall?hu Alayhi Wasallam himself and is authentically proven. The Prophets are also alive in their graves.
We do not know the reality and exact nature of the life of the Prophets alayhis sal?m in their graves. However, it is mentioned in the Hadith that when a person comes to visit the Prophet Sall?hu Alayhi Wasallam and greets Rasulullah Sall?hu Alayhi Wasallam, he (Rasulullah) hears the greeting and also replies to the greeting. When a person sends greetings to Rasulullah Sall?hu Alayhi Wasallam from far, the angels carry that Sal?ms and convey it to Rasulullah Sall?hu Alayhi Wasallam.
For further details (proof) please refer to the link below prepared by Mufti Ebrahim Desai Sahib:

2) Im?m Muslim was not an M?liki nor a Hanafi nor a Shafi. Compilation of the Sahih Muslim shows that he was more inclined towards the Shaf? School of thought.
Various scholars have different opinion about Im?m Bukhari Rahmatulllah ?alayh?s mazhab, some are mentioned hereunder:
1) According to ibn Taimiyyah (R.A), Im?m Bukhari Rahmatulllah ?alayh was a mujtahid and an independent Im?m.
2) Allama Taqi?uddeen Subki has regarded him as a Shafi? because he was the student of Humaidi, who was a Shafi?. This conclusion is not correct because then Im?m Bukhari Rahmatulllah ?alayh should be regarded as a Hanafi in view of Ish?q ibn R?hway, Im?m Bukhari Rahmatulllah ?alayh?s Teacher, being a student of Abdullah Ibn Mub?rak Rahmatulllah ?alayh and Abdullah Ibn Mub?rak Rahmatulllah ?alayh was a Hanafi.
3) Ibn Qayym (R.A.) says Im?m Bukhari Rahmatulllah ?alayh, Muslim and Abu Dawood were strong followers of Im?m Ahmed ibn Hambal.
After studing and closely looking at Im?m Bukhari Rahmatulllah ?alayh, pone will realize that Im?m Bukhari Rahmatulllah ?alayh did not follow any one Im?m, he has his independent views on many issues, therefore Allama Anwar Shah Kashmiri (R.A.) and Sheikh Zakaria(R.A.) have the same view as that of Allamah Taimiyyah that Im?m Bukhari Rahmatulllah ?alayh is a mujtahid.
Muhaddise-Kabir Wa Sheikh-u- Ulam? Hadhrat Moulana Fazlur Rahman Sahib D?mat Barak?tuhum, Shaikul Hadith of Darul Uloom Azaadville is of the opinion that Im?m Bukhari Rahmatulllah ?alayh?s Usools (fundamental principles) are not known, it is difficult to regard him as an independent Im?m and mujtahid.
Hadhrat Mufti Ebrahim Desai Sahib?s view is that not knowing the Usool of any Im?m is not the criteria to disqualify him from being a mujtahid, just as there were many other mujtahids other than the famous and commonly known four Im?ms. Their Usool are not known, but they were mujtahids or else it would mean that there were only four mujtahids in this Ummat. Yes, one may say that since the Usools of Im?m Bukhari Rahmatulllah ?alayh are not known, he cannot be followed, just as we cannot follow for eg. Sufyan Sawri, Sufyan Uyaina, etc.
And Allah Ta??la Knows Best
