The prosecution cannot call witnesses after it closes its case (prima-facie break), it can only cross-examine witnesses called by the defense. If the proseution attempts to call a witness not on its witness list before it closes its case, the defense should object.
Basic court procedure means that the Prosecution must go first and show its case, then close its case, and then it is the defense's turn; the question as presented is a violation of the normal procedures used in court.

If you mean in the United States, there's an awful lot they CAN do to push you into testifying in a case like that -- assuming you mean that you're being subpoenaed by the District Attorney's Office to testify for the Prosecution. However, if you are being put under pressure to testify FOR the defendant as a witness for the Defense, you will have a far greater chance of refusing to testify.

Yes, they can. Typically a defense attorney will subpoena the witness, but the attorney may request that the court order the witness to remain in the court after testifying for the state.

What is a rebuttal witness?
A Rebuttal witness is a witness who's testimony contradicts another witness. For example in a murder case the defence might call a character witness to provide evidence that the accused was a mild mannered nice guy. A rebuttal witness might be called by the prosecution to provide contradictory evidence of the accused's character and might testify that the person was violent, bad tempered or abusive. Experts are often called to testify for the prosecution and the defence will then often call other (rebuttal) experts who might have reached a different conclusion.
