Answer 1

You can use UserControl's Load and Unload events.

public partial class WebUserControl1 : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Log to Database
    }

    protected void Page_Unload(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Log to Database
    }
}

Here is ASP.Net Page Life Cycle

Answer 2

The page fires the load event, which recursively goes through all of its controls, including your user control, to fire that load event on it. same action occurs for Unload. The page controls it all, which is controlled by the module that controls the ASP.NET framework.
