No, they wern't muslim. Allah even forbid Rasululah (saw) from praying for his mother's forgiveness. I remember reading that a man ask rasululah (saw) about his dad and rasululah (saw) sez to him that his dad was in the fire. So the man looked very sad. Then rasululah (saw) said to him his (saw) dad was in the fire too.

Do you mean Abu Talib? As far as I know, he didn't accept Islam.

Among the Prophet's uncles, only Hamzah and Abbas RadhiyAllahu 'Anhuma accepted Islam.

Sorry I misunderstood:
[When Abu Talib was on his deathbed, the Holy Prophet (saww) went to him while Abu Jahl was sitting beside him. The Holy Prophet (saww) said to him:
“O Uncle! Say LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAH – an expression with which I will defend your case before Allah (SWT)”. Abu Jahl and Abdullah bin Umayyah said, “O Abu Talib! Will you leave the religion of Abdul-Muttalib?” They kept saying this till Abu Talib’s last statement was, “I am on the religion of Abdul-Muttalib”. So the Holy Prophet (saww) said, “I will keep asking Allah for your forgiveness unless I am forbidden to do so”. Thereupon, verse 113 of Surah al-Tawbah was revealed, in which Allah (SWT) says, “It does not befit the Prophet and the believers to ask Allah’s forgiveness for the pagans, even if they were their near relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of Hellfire”.]

no, Abu Thalib will be in hell forever, albeit in the least punishing level of hell.
