<p>Although it is not revealed whether Yamato is dead or not, or will he be rescued or not, it did mention that he is suspended opposite to Hashirama's clone for future use. We still have to wait. I am optimistic that he would come back, since he is one of the major supporting characters of the series. From <a href="http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Yamato" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong>Yamato's wiki page</strong></a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Kabuto escapes to the Mountains' Graveyard where he and Tobi gather information from Yamato about the Allied Shinobi Forces. Kabuto also studies Hashirama's DNA within Yamato to strengthen the White Zetsu Army. Rather than kill Yamato when he has fulfilled his usefulness, they suspend him opposite Hashirama's clone for future use.<p>
  At some point during the war, his body was encased within Tobi, seemingly using Yamato's altered DNA to strengthen its own Wood Release. After Madara Uchiha activated his Infinite Tsukuyomi, Yamato was freed from within Tobi's body in an unconscious state, as he had no further use for Tobi. He was then immediately caught in the genjutsu.</p>

Maybe this answer should be updated with reference to the new manga series (Naruto Gaiden).

<p>Yamato was controlled by spiral zetsu (tobi) just before the infinite tsukuyomi. Since Yamato and zetsu both know wood release, their powers combined was enough to stop the Third Hokage with "Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands".</p>

And so he's not dead. And Kabuto won't kill him since he was turned to the good side by Itachi.

I don't know if there's any way to know this until more of the series comes out. We can't see the future.

Unless Kishi gives some hints or atleast shows whether he's still alive or not, there can be no answer to it. Unfortunately, it is going to be a mere speculation if there is going to be an answer for this.

There is some uncertainty with this question, but parts of it can also be answered.
