If your state allows for it, yes you can file a motion for termination of parental rights. In some states, TPR is done at the discretion of the state only and there is no provision for voluntary relinquishment.
You should be aware, however, then terminating your rights does not terminate your child support obligation. All it will do is cease your rights to see your child or have any further say-so in his/her life.
only the mother does
Custody, not parental rights.
Procedure depends on state law where you reside and what exactly you are signing over. Rights? Custody?
No. The biological father have rights. Unless the court find him unfit to have custody then there might be a chance.

She should talk to an attorney specializing in family law to see what her options are.
That completely depends on whether or not you voluntarily terminated your parental rights or the courts removed them before custody was re-assigned. If this happened, you have no rights. If it did not, you would need to refer to your court documents to see which rights, if any, were retained when you relinquished custody as this may be modified on a case-by-case basis.
How often is the father awarded custody of the child over the mother in North Carolina?
No. If the court allows him to give them up, which they would not in this case, the mother is the only one with parental rights. Parental rights is not something you can give away or pass around to different people. As long as the mother is fit there is no way a grandparent would get custody.
If you're referencing a custody change, you need power of attorney.
The court will require that both biological parents be in agreement to relinquishing custodial rights to a qualified related person. In some cases (such as military deployment) the court will accept a signed and witnessed affidavit by the non present parent. A parent(s) cannot arbitrarily consent to permanent custody of a minor child to a relative, family friend, etc. Temporary custody (generally 90 days or less) can be done legally as long as the proper procedures are followed. The prescribed court procedures for the state in which the minor child resides must be followed if the minor child is to be permanently removed from parental custody. If such action is granted by the court the biological parent(s) may still be required to pay child support, obtain medical insurance and other financial needs of the child.
