Can worshippers of dead gods or goddesses continue to follow them even though they are dead like in the case of Eilistraee. Her followers continue to worship her while the Seldarine grant them their spells out of respect to Correllon's daughter.

If you're playing 3.5e, there was a feat in Lost Empires of Faerun that allowed a divine spellcaster to do just that, but if it's 4e, I really couldn't say one way or the other beyond asking the DM if they would allow it.

Rules-wise, in 4e a divine character can work just fine even with no god. So, in regards to 4e mechanics, the answer to your question is yes.

Well, technically the rules are silent on this issue. A 4e deity can't just revoke access to divine powers once the ritual connecting the cleric to them in the first place has been done. However what happens when the source of power itself is destroyed the rules don't specify.

Also the FR differed from the core rules already in 3.5 as the godless cleric option from the D&D core rules was forbidden in FR.

Anything is possible if the DM allows it  : )

James Wyatt's cleric openly worships Lathander in a live game (01:26) for exemple, with his spells most likely granted by another deity (Ammaunator) Cool

Lathander was/is Amaunator. That's why James Wyatt's cleric worships "them".
