I mean, it wouldn't be completely unreasonable. Even when it had PS2 parts in it, the PS3's emulator wasn't great. I expect many of the 'PS2 Classics' were slightly reworked for the PS3, so probably wouldn't work with the PS4's emulator. That said, if a game becomes available for the PS4's emulator and someone already owns the PS3 version, i don't think it's unreasonable to believe they should get it for free.

It depends on the emulator. If it's a generic emulator, they hust put the isos in place and repackage them. PCs are able to play isos from PS2, PS4 can do this, too.

Also for PS3 there was an emulator for PS2 - you can even play isos on it if your console is hacked. In the end, the "core" is the same, an iso.

As far as what games are available, i was thinking more in regards to licensing than the emulator itself. On the emulation side i'd very quiet surprised if there were many games that they can't actually run (just variations in how much they can improve it over the original).
