Those will, so long as they haven't actually been suspended. As for your
other question, you would only receive mentions from protected accounts that
you were following (i.e. accounts to which you had access).

[twitter-dev] Re: statuses/mentions vs search/screenname

[Joseph Cheek]

so statuses/mentions will retrieve mentions from protected users'
timelines, even if you are not authorized to see them?

Along the same line, updates from accounts considered spamming
wouldn't be included in search results too.

[twitter-dev] Re: statuses/mentions vs search/screenname

[JDG]

I believe that search does not return statuses of protected users (even when
authenticated, though I may be wrong and should be corrected if I am). In
that case, yes, you could potentially receive fewer results than
statuses/mentions.
