It depends. But often the acquiring company will take on the debt as well as the assets. The money usually goes directly to shareholders.

Depends on the offer, sometimes its an all cash offer per share, others times they just offer shares of the acquirer and sometimes its a combo. but the offer you see is the amount you will receive.
