Answer 1

If your parents were married and filed a joint return at the time the tax bill was created, then the IRS will come after the taxpayers on the returns in question.

You can call the Taxpayer Advocate and relay the content of the letter and see if anything can be done for you. Get the phone number here.

Answer 2

Ninas right. Your mother may be an innocent spouse. That will get her out of having to pay for your father's taxes. See IRS Publication 971. http://www.irs.gov/publications/p971/index.html
