Generally, a diagonal would *not* bisect the corner angles. Only if the rectangle has equal sides (a square) would it bisect the two angles into 45-45 angles.
Try it yourself. Draw a long, skinny rectangle, and then draw one diagonal. Notice how you form two angles that are *not* equal. Thus the diagonal is not a bisector.
On the other hand, two diagonals do bisect each other (not into equal angles, but into equivalent line segments.) If you meant lines, then the answer is yes.

Yes, the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other always. By drawing the diagonals in a rectangle you form 4 triangles. Each 2 opposite triangles are equals, that means the sides are equal.

Only if all the sides of the rectangle are equal.

No. This occurs only in squares.
