If you mean in IT Returns, yes it should be declared.

Can i bring the money back if needed?

By Back if you mean repatriate to US, The capital portion would be Ease if the loan property was purchased or loan repaid from NRE. Else there is limit on the amount and paperwork. Consult a CA.

If I rent the property instead of selling, do I have to report the income and what income?

You are taxable for the rent and have to report it as income and pay taxes in India.
