We don't know what causes the erosion of individuality, but the genjutsu itself makes sense. It was powerful enough to convince people of their ideal dreams and nobody seemed to question it for even a moment, so obviously it's overriding power is great. Which means it could be powerful enough that continuous exposure leaves one mindless. And without their memories? It did say that their personalities would be erased, but not their memories. Then again, with their individuality gone, their memories wouldn't mean anything anymore.

Actually, only Tenten was somehow able to know the world she was in was a genjutsu, but she unwillingly chose to stay anyway.

I can probably guess that the animals would just be let go since the humans are what become White Zetsus, not animals.
