The origins of the Ents are back in the song of Yavanna during the Great Music. You'll recall that she was afraid for her work, that it would be dominated and destroyed by the Children of Iluvatar & Aule. That was when Manwe had his vision where the Eagles and Ents were revealed. They are only refered to as "spirits from afar." I would assume that the spirits were Maiar.
What happened to Ents after they died might be they go to Mandos like other dwellers in the world. But they might also just go straight back to Eru in the Timeless Halls.
