Hang around for all the opens if you want, I did, with all the kids, and request photo id for the visitors (for the real estate agent to record details) if it is not policy for the agent anyway. Just for peace of mind if you want.
As above, you can stay until the end of your lease. The agent *may* try to get you to agree to leaving earlier, as if both the new owner and tenant agree to early termination of the lease, then that is okay. Don't agree if you don't want to, don't feel pressured into agreeing.
Our place that we were living in was sold recently, so we have just been through all this.
ETA; if you are still there after your lease finishes at the end of twelve months, and the property is NOt sold, then you automatically go on to a month to month lease. Therefore, you only need to give 30 days notice that you are leaving. However, if after your twelve month lease ends, property NOT sold, and you're still there on your month to month, the agent must give you sixty days to vacate after the property is sold.

Thanks guys for the replies. I feel better about sticking around for the opens now. I'm a private person so the thought of people looking thru my cupboards etc makes me feel really uncomfortable.
