The answer to both questions is yes, if the heirs at law of the deceased executor are also interested parties to the estate. The family should get together and decide who would make a good replacement. Then the court should be notified of the death of the executor and at the same time the chosen replacement can request appointment as the successor. You should consult with the attorney who is handling the estate.

Go to the probate court and ask them to appoint a new executor. In this case they will probably request a full accounting from the existing executor. If it is not complete, they are likely to appoint a third party (an attorney or bank) to serve as the executor. This will cost the estate more money, but it is going to be done correctly.
First: A person is not an executor until they have been appointed by a court. Once appointed, the executor is under the jurisdiction of the court and can be reported and removed for a failure to carry out their duties quickly, efficiently and according to the law. You should petition the court to remove and replace the executor.

Petition the court to replace the executor.
Be very careful. You must ask to have the items returned to you, or seek permission to enter the premises (from the executor), and you may be asked to produce some proof that the items actually belong to you. The executor will presume that anything in the premises belongs to the estate of the deceased until proven otherwise, as it is the executor's duty to gather and protect all of the decedent's property from people who wander in making informal claims. If the executor makes a mistake and gives you something that later turns out to have been the property of the decedent, you can be forced (in court) to give it back or pay to replace it if you have disposed of it.
This is a difficult situation and you should consult with an attorney who specializes in probate. The heirs have the right to have the estate settled as expeditiously as possible. Once a Will is filed for probate it becomes a public record. The heirs can visit the court, request to see the file and review all the filings up to date. Remember that the executor has no authority until they have been appointed by the court. The court must approve the Will and the appointment of the executor. The executor has the legal duty to file the Will as soon as possible. If the appointed executor is not performing their tasks in a timely manner the heirs can file motions to compel the executor to act or to replace the executor. If the executor won't file the Will, any interested party can petition the probate court to order the executor to submit the Will to the court. Withholding a Will after the death of the testator is a serious offense. Any interested party could also petition to be appointed the estate representative for an intestate estate and the estate will be handled according to the laws of intestacy as if there was no Will. In any case, you need expert legal advice.
