I am a USC who petitioned for my sister back in 2010. Even though my sister was (still is) married I did not include her husband in the petition. I did include her little daughter (my niece) though.

Questions: 1) When their visa number becomes current, can her husband be added as my sister’s beneficiary?

2) When their visa number becomes current and sister decides not to proceed (changes her mind for not to immigrate), can her daughter still proceed and immigrate on her own, without mother?

Yes 

 

You could fudge it.

Yes husband can be added later. 
 

No, the daughter cannot immigrate without the mother. The mother is the principal beneficiary and the others only derivatives. They cannot get visas without her getting one, and they can only enter the US on their immigrant visas with or after her. So she’d (mother) have to go through the whole process (and then give up her green card if she doesn’t want it) if she wants the daughter (presumably still unmarried and under 21) to get one.

1. Yes, husband can be added.

2. Absolutely not. You can't cherry pick who gets to come. If it wasn't for the mother being petitioned, her daughter (your niece) wouldn't have an option to immigrate so you can't cut her mother out. Her mother is the main connection that allows her to immigrate. If your sister-in-law decides not to proceed, then that will be that.
