Eggs should not be left unrefrigerated. The longer they are unrefrigerated, the more quickly the quality will deteriorate. Also, if any bacteria made it into the eggs, that would give the microbes a chance to grow.
Yes and no. Obviously they'll eventually spoil but eggs are naturally pretty reislent and will usually last two or three weeks unrefridgerated (great news for backpackers!). This is due largely to natural antibactierial qualities in the shell. Temperature, the health of the chicken that laid the egg and the density and state of the shell (ie: cracks) will all effect longevity. A good rule of thumb is if it smells rotten, it is rotten (hence that "rotten egg" smell), otherwise enjoy!

The quality of the egg deteriorates over time. Grade AA lasts only for about 2 weeks, then it becomes Grade A. Grade A remains Grade A for about a total of one month.

I have had refrigerated eggs last for one month beyond the use by date on the package. They did not spoil, but reduced in quality. The yolk got flatter and the white became more runny. I only used them in cooking, but I wouldn't recommend keeping eggs for so long.

According to the American Egg Board, properly stored eggs rarely spoil - they just dry up.
