Do they lose their government pension?

Not currently (I believe) -- though I have seen proposed laws that do that.
Of course, if they are sentenced for long enough, the pension is irrelevant -- and they may be fined as part of the conviction.
But they should -- IF the felony was related to their job performance.

Senators and Representatives when convicted of a felon can be impeached under the Constitution.

Yes.
They didn't used to, but they do now, after the recent ethics bill passed by democrats.

I'm not sure but I know they will be moved to chair the ethics committee.
