Typically when a song is remixed or sampled, the copyright holders have given permission and are getting royalties.

I don't have figures, but no, not for the notable ones at least.

The artists and marketing guys know and encourage remixing, but it's not normally a contract situation. That often leads to conflicts with the RIAA in their 'super SWAT team' form. See this for example.

It is very difficult to prophesy, especially when it pertains to the future.
