Nope. That's why they're "lost and found." You can, however, take a look
at what's in there.

Not unless you were writing one as part of the task. For example, many
people have a cron job that runs htdig/htmerge and sends the results as a
mail message. This would usually involve a temporary file, which you could
check.

fsck is usually just fine. If you see repeated disk problems, then you may
want to do a reformatting with options to get rid of bad sectors. With the
current prices of disks, it's also a reasonable option to just buy a new
disk if there seem to be media problems.
