No. Term life insurance has no "surrender value", so is no good as collateral. The insurance that you might be able to borrow against is "whole life".

The key difference between life insurance and whole life insurance is that regular life insurance carries a fixed term while whole life insurance covers one's entire lifetime. Whole life insurance also accumulates a cash value that one can borrow money against.

Yes, until renewal time. Rarely is there a problem with keeping the same coverage, because that is a big money make for insurance companies. (group life)
the interest rate is stipulated in writing in the life insurance policy
Some whole life insurance policies are structured such that you can borrow on the death benefit but you much pay it back over time with interest. The interest is yours to keep as part of the total death benefit of your life insurance plan. If you pay your premiums you will be able to borrow up to the death benefit. If you pay your premiums plus additional money, the money you "save" can be invested to grow tax-free. You can borrow this money too and must repay it to yourself with interest. The point is that when you pay premiums for a whole life policy, that money is ultimately going to be your estate's at some point when you die. You are just borrowing on it while alive. If you die prior to paying back the money you borrow, the death benefit of the policy pays off the balance of the loan.
The benefit of term life insurance is that once the life insurance is completely paid off, then the monthly premium are paid off by the dividends. People can also borrow from their life insurance.
