Yes they can reverse the internal BTC transfers, since they do not even use the blockchain but are just database transactions. Not likely though unless they suspect fraud or other illegal activity.

I think at this point, Gox might and could do anything. If they really are insolvent, all bets are off.

That's a very good question. 

It's more like "can they get away with it if they do it?" Given the reluctance of Gox suckers customers to sue, probably yes.
