No they don't have to tell you any thing.
Freedom of speach. Say anything you want or dont say anything you dont want to say. |

It is absolutely not true. A undercover cop can commit crimes, use drugs and lie to whomever he wants if it will maintain his cover. Do not fall for this rumor. |

They don't have to say wether they are with any sort of protection force, though usually they will tell you if they are part of the police, FBI, etc. |
