you can enable metadata 'video usage' to make sure you don't delete used footage in the sequence.

As has already been said, not automatically but you can use the Project Manager in Premiere Pro to collect all files to one location. Go to File > Project Manager.

 

Link: Project Manager - Copy, consolidate, transcode, and archive your Adobe Premiere Pro project

 

But once you start to import media from other folders and delete them the issue will stay. Planning and better media management is the permanent solution that will save you big time in the fututre.

There is no "footage folder" as such. When you import anything into Premiere, it creates a link to your file, wherever you have it on your computer.

Premiere does not store clips so it's not possible to copy footage to "project folder" as there isn't one. Sorry.

Not automatically.
