1.) Nope. There is at least one Death Eater, who is a Gryffindor, and 
that's Peter Pettigrew. JKR was once asked, if all the Marauders were 
from Gryffindor, and she answered yes. Unluckily, the person who asked 
the question (during a chat) made a mistake and mentioned Lupin twice 
while forgetting Womrtail, therefore I can you can say that it is not 
really canon that Peter's a Gryffindor, too. But I think it's 99,999% 
likely. It wouldn't make much sense if the other three Marauders would 
befriend a Slytherin just like that. Sirius especially is not that 
tolerant to accept him like this.

2.) I think most of the students will side with Harry, except a few 
Slytherins and one or two "surprise candidates" from other houses. On 
her website, (where she was asked about Snape's heritage) JKR hinted 
that there might be a muggleborn Death Eater. I don't think this one 
would be from Slytherin, and I also don't think it's Wormtail, since 
they speak about her mother as if she were a witch.
