Yes. Both the owner/proprietor of a bank account and the person to whom they have given power of attorney can operate a bank account. Actually a person with power of attorney is as good as the person (in legal terms) itself and so they both can operate the bank account without any issue.
A power of attorney represents a living person, so any power of attorney is no longer valid. They would have to be on the bank account or the executor to legally take the money out.
If the power of attorney represents the deceased, no, they cannot. A power of attorney expires on the death of the grantor.
If it is in "THERE" name, No. If it is in "THEIR" name, maybe.

A bank account can be closed only by the individual who holds the account. He/she needs to visit the bank and sign the account closure form in order to close their bank account. No one else can do that. But, if the account holder has given the legal power of attorney to another individual, he can act as a proxy for the customer and close their bank account.
Powers of attorney are only good while the person who gave the power is living. They expire upon the death of the person granting the power. The probate attorney has no duty to notify you that they are accessing the records. You should get yourself listed as a co-owner of the account instead.
You can have a joint account with your mother. You do not need a Power of Attorney to manage the account because it belongs to you as the co-owner.

Technically speaking, the wife cannot open a bank account in your name without your signature. Either she needs your signature or she needs a power of attorney from you which gives her the legal right to act on her behalf. If she opened the account after a legal power of attorney, you cannot do anything. If she opened an account without that, then you can try to talk to your wife and try to settle things amicably. Else, you can register a formal complaint with both the bank and the police about forgery.
