No, they can't. Assuming they were included in the bankruptcy proceedings and did not file a counter suit for dismissal and win. If they were included, the banruptcy was granted they are violating a court order by trying to sue you. Which is, obviously illegal.

No. The automatic stay takes effect and no creditor may proceed without the court's permission, called "relief from stay." If the claim is one that cannot be discharged, once the case is closed, the creditor may continue its collection efforts.

If that particular creditor was included in your chapter 13 plan and you completed your plan and received a discharge, that creditor may not thereafter collect. However, certain debts will not be discharged and those creditors may still collect (IRS, tax debts, fraud judgemnts, spousal/child support, etc.).

This is a two part question. If the creditors were included in the Chap 7, the answer is no, they have NO recourse once the court discharges. The second part is if the debtor neglected to inform the court of a creditor before the discharge or took on new debt after the discharge, then the creditor has legal recourse.
