No, they would not even be eligible to apply (not until their spouse is).
They would (usually) be eligible to receive an H-2 visa, that would let them stay in the US with their spouse, and become eligible to permanent residency eventually, when/if the spouse is eligible.
I hope, it helps

No. A work visa is just that. You are allowed to stay in the US for a certain period of time. After which you return home. A work visa only allows for work.
Both parties would have to return to their country. Can not stay in the US past visa date
