Duties included: field patrols, transport, processing, control room duties, transportation check, checkpoint operations, static watch duties, etc.
Varies due to conditions of the smuggling (how many, how dangerous, previous criminal record, etc.).

I've never even heard of an ICE locator, but as ICE deals with internal immigration handling, if they have a locator it will only contain illegals who are serving jail time for other crimes. The BP does not keep an active record of people in custody since most illegals are returned within 24 hours.
If someone is killed along the border (bandits, cartel etc.) the body will be handled by the local police department as with any other homicide. If the person has no identification or records then they'll be buried without identity. This is pretty common, as many people who die in the desert are consumed by wildlife within 24-36 hours, so identification becomes nearly impossible unless identification is carried by the person.
If a citizen of another country is found dead, and identified then the police department will likely contact their country of origin an attempt to locate relatives.

Illegal immigrants seldom end up in court. If they do, it is by their choice, selecting a "notice to appear" action where they will go and plead their case with an immigration judge. This seldom results in a different result. If a person has the means they may attempt to hire an immigration lawyer to aid them in their plea. This is not like normal criminal court, as the simple physical presence of a person in the US illegally is obvious proof of guilt. If an illegal immigrant goes to court for criminal charges they will get a normal defense lawyer as any other criminal.

BORTAC is difficult and something you won't hop into without a few years in the field. BORTAC/SRT are small units, in a large agency so the competition is pretty fierce, but not impossible.
You'll be fine.

It's not forbidden...just stupid. A BPA going into Mexico does so at his own risk. Considering you'll be catching and apprehending thousands of illegal Mexicans, it's not exactly the smartest place to go. But there is not a policy against it.
