Does the generator run even when no power is being drawn from it.
Also, would the thermostat work without power? What about the furnace
itself?

Sure. Figure a gallon of gasoline per hour. Plan on getting up in the
middle of the night to re-fuel.
My generator will go 8 hours on a gallon with just the furnace on it.
