Can a lone turtle lay eggs if kept separated for 4 months?

Your question is some what unclear but I will try my best to answer it. A female turtle doesn't have to mate to lay eggs. So even a lone female turtle may lay unfertilized eggs. If an adult male and female turtle are kept together then they will mate. If the female doesn't have sand or dirt to lay her eggs in then she may lay her eggs in the water or on whatever land possible. If you know your turtle is pregnant and put her in an separate enclosure for 4 months then yes she probably will lay eggs in there.

Why wont my red eared slider turtle go in her water. She isn't about to lay eggs and the water is fresh. She has been out of the water all week and I need to force her in to eat every day?

She might be doing that because maybe it's scared of the environment. Did you recently change his or her environment? If your turtle follows turtle food you might have a solution. Lead your turtle into the water while letting it follow the food.
