They can, especially if you are a smoker or drink a lot of coffee or tea.
"Bonded" teeth can be of many types.... If it is bonded resin, yes, it can stain at the margins edges from the bond failing. If the main body of the resin bond is staining, it is likely not sealed well. It would benefit from a good polish and smoothing by the dentist. Sometimes older resins just stain as they age. These need to be removed and replaced for better esthetics.
I hope this clarifies.

Yes they are more susceptible to staining and that is why porcelain veneers are a better option.
If they have a high polish, they will usually not stain. If it covers the entire tooth, it is less likely to stain as well.
Yes, oftentimes composite or bonded restorations will catch stain.
