Can Villagers Open Chests in Minecraft?

Villagers cannot open chests.
It may be possible for you to put bread into a dropper (or dispenser) and then automatically activate the dropper with a redstone clock, but you need a good setup for this to solve your problem.

Do villagers interact with chests?

Villagers do not interact with or care about chests. They only have their own internal inventory.

Can villagers steal your stuff in Minecraft?

No. Villagers don't take items from any containers - even ones that are their workstations. The only exception is farmer composting plants in his composter and taking the bonemeal it produces. But chests, barrels, smokers, blast furnaces etc are safe.
