I'm sure there are, but you must realize that business ethics is rooted in ones sense of morality and personal and social values. This being the case, there isn't a published rule book that stipulates what an employer can or can not ask of you.
If what you are being asked to do doesn't sit well with your personal morals and values, you may need to discuss this candidly with your boss. However, if what you are feeling is a reluctance to do something that falls under "other duties as assigned," you may have to re-evaluate your thinking.

Yes, but many bosses have trouble distinguishing between what is ethical and what is legal. They believe that if their behavior is legal, then it is also ethical (which is absolutely wrong).

Yes, of course. In the USA, questions of a personal nature in the wrong areas can be evidence of sexual harrassment and religious prejudice. Generally, questions unrelated to job performance rapidly get into doubtful areas (like "What did you do last night?" as opposed to "Why are you so tired today?")
