Can you contribute to an IRA if you are contributing to a 401k?

Yes, 2 separate things (accounts). The 401K investing doesn't affect the contribution amount allowed into the IRA. However, if you are contributing to a 401k, you are an active participant in a retirement plan at work. If your modified Adjusted Gross Income exceeds a certain amount, there are limits on how much you may deduct for a contribution to a traditional IRA. You may still make a full non-deductible contribution, however.

How much of a penalty is there for the rollover of a 401k?

Most companies will allow you to leave your 401k plan with them as long as the balance is over five thousand. If the balance is lower than that they will most likely return it to you as a check. Rolling your 401k will usually cost you a 10% early withdrawal penalty. If you cash your 401k you will get a penalty plus have to pay a huge amount of taxes to the IRS. So consider all options before making the leap to switch companies.
