I also have 2 gremlin pets in my current fort (cavern embark), greatly aiding in hunting and defending the fort.
One even kept a troll at bay until reinforcements arrived :)

So, do they automatically pick up crossbows? I had ten gremlins and they didn't arm themselves.

Did they have ambushing skills?

Yep, they became "Gremlin Hunters" after a while, but just ran around in the woods.

It seems if you allow a dorf to adopt the babies they will not starve after their mother abandon them , which is sort of odd. Also beware of them leaving doors open to invaders, which can lead to fun

My adult hunter died recently, and I'm not sure about ambushing, but they brought their crossbows with them and rearmed and ate on their own or via their masters. Though I noticed them going around hungry quite long from time to time.

Mine were bought on embark (never happened before). They wore clothing and had ambushing skills, drinking from a nearby river and eating from my stocks it seems. Their children always died of thirst, never drinking anything (or eating). The adults died out during a long siege, having no acces to water.
