If Tyranid Genestealer has toxin sacs (poison, 4+) along with its rending claws, and can re-roll to wound because it's strength is higher than its opponents toughness and it has poison, do the re-rolls also benefit from the rending rule?

Yes, but you wouldn't be able to re-roll any dice that wounded but did not rend (as one of my recent opponants tried to convince me you could) just so you can get rending.

Poison also states "must reroll failed to wound" which might come up in the case where the effect of killing something might be negative, such as you want to stay locked in combat and don't want to completely wipe out a unit, you'd still have to attempt it. (see it happen).
