Where 2 witnesses inform a woman that they saw her husband die and the woman remarries based on their testimony, and the husband is later found to be alive, are the children of the second "marriage" mamzerim?

Yes. Mamzerus is not dependent on an Aveirah, even children of an Ones Gamur will be Mamzerim if the parents are Chayavei Kerisus.
