Not without a legal action and it probably won't succeed. Whole point of POA is to give someone power to act on your behalf.

Yes, there are many possible ways. The power may not be valid for property transactions at all. The power may be revoked. The person who issued the power may be dead. The property transaction may be counter to the wishes of the issuer (i.e., breach of fiduciary trust).

Plus there may be other ordinary property-related issues such as cloud on title, inability to negotiate a fair price, etc.

Only by court order.

No, not ordinarily.
