Yes. But there may be penalties for early withdrawal. And, if it is a traditional IRA there will also be federal (and maybe state) income taxes due, as well as a ten percent penalty to the IRS under most cases, if the withdrawal is made before age 59 1/2. For a roth IRA, there also may be penalties for early withdrawal, but there will be no taxes due if all you withdraw is the amount you originally deposited. Once you are 59 1/2, you may withdraw even the gain without taxes.
Under the CARES Act, individuals affected by COVID-19 can withdraw up to 100,000 from their Principal 401(k) without penalty if they meet certain criteria, such as being diagnosed with the virus or experiencing financial hardship due to the pandemic.

To rollover your Roth 401k to a Roth IRA, you need to contact your plan administrator or financial institution to initiate the transfer. Once the rollover is complete, you can withdraw your contributions from the Roth IRA penalty-free, but any earnings withdrawn may be subject to taxes and penalties if you are under 59 1/2 years old.
If you are under 59 1/2 there is a 10% penalty for withdrawing from your 401(k) early. This is a federal penalty assessed on your taxes.
You cannot. No bank would allow someone to withdraw money from another persons bank account without their approval. Trying to do so is illegal and you can be jailed for it. Also, if a bank is lax in its security precautions and allows such transactions, the bank can be closed by the central bank.
