Yes. Both parties do not need to consent to a divorce. With the advent of "no-fault" divorce laws in the 70's and 80's, most states only require that one party show that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" or something similar. A court would very rarely refuse to grant a divorce if one party wants one, even if the other party feels that they can work it out.

That depends on the status of the married couple. A married individual is allowed to withdraw retirement funds early and without consent of the spouse if the fund allows it, and penalties are assessed. The situation changes in the case of divorce. Most states follow a doctrine of equitable division of marital property at the time of divorce. If a married individual raids their retirement funds in anticipation of a divorce, the court has the power to make that individual reimburse the other spouse according to the court ordered division of property. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in divorce in your jurisdiction before taking that course of action.

In some jurisdictions men may divorce their wives at-will, but women may not divorce their husbands without their husband's consent.

Technically yes. By this I mean that if there is a situation in which one spouse cannot be found (and the other spouse attempted to locate the spouse) then the court will proceed with the divorce without that spouse and enter a default divorce. However, if you were never served the paper work to put you on alert that you were getting a divorce then you do have the option, within a certain amount of time, to contest the entry of the default divorce. Although you cannot necessarily reverse a divorce you are given an opportunity to argue your side.
