In the past, members haven't used attacks in clan wars and this was a huge problem. Is there ever a time when it's a good idea not to attack the enemy? For example, I've heard of people saying they didn't attack because they knew we were going to win or lose. How do you know in advance if you're going to win or lose?

The only requirement is that a clan must have at least 5 members eligible for war. (This used to be 10, but 5 vs 5 war size is also available now.)
Members who are new to your clan will be ineligible for war if they left their previous clan while a war was in progress. They will become eligible for war again when the previous war is completed. You can check your clan member list to see if any members are ineligible for war, and see when they will be eligible again. If you start the clan war while members are still ineligible, those members will not be able to participate.
You can see when players will be eligible in their profile through clan's chat room.
According to the top answer here, when your base is attacked and your Elixir Collectors/Gold Mines are destroyed, you will only lose as much as 50% of what was already in your buffer.
But to answer your question, yes, the Elixir Collectors/Gold mines still continue to function as normal, even after you are attacked, and they appear to be rubble. I know this from firsthand experience and I assume that the "rubble" appearance is merely a aesthetic affect.

In most cases those are just assumptions whether you are going to win or to lose. But you can browse through your enemies and compare your strengths: If your enemy is roughly equal and most of the opponent clan members have used their attacks already while your clan has most of them left, then you are able to say that it is likely that you will win the clan war.
And reasons why some clan members would not attack in this case? Well, if you will probably win the clan war and the remaining opponents all have bulwarks for which you would need plenty of troops while the possible loot is nearby zero, then it's wise not to attack those enemies.
So you always have to weigh between the possibility of winning the war and the profitability of attacking an enemy concerning the loot.
