yes, to a limited degree. By using tools like Doppler radar meteorologists can predict approximately where and when a tornado is likely to occur.
Still, even with a combination of radar and weather spotters we cannot predict the exact path a tornado will take with certainty.
Meteorologists chase tornadoes because they can conduct research to better understand and predict them. Many storm chasers, though are not meteorologists, and just chase for the thrill or because tornadoes fascinate them.
Since tornadoes and hurricanes are weather phenomena they are studied by meteorologists, or weather scientists.
There is no specific word for a scientist who studies tornadoes. Such scientists would fall under the general label of meteorologists; weather scientists.
Only to a limited degree. Meteorologists can predict areas where tornadoes might occur when the conditions for them arise. But there is no telling exactly when and where a storm will produce a tornado.
A few civilians have proposed means of stopping tornadoes, but no credible research is being done by actual weather scientists (meteorologists). It is generally accepted among scientists that there is no feasible way to stop a tornado.
Meteorologists (weather scientists) study tornadoes and how to predict them, but there are no real efforts to try to prevent them. That is impossible.

Meteorologists chase tornadoes because they can conduct research to better understand and predict them. Many storm chasers, though are not meteorologists, and just chase for the thrill or because tornadoes fascinate them.
Since tornadoes and hurricanes are weather phenomena they are studied by meteorologists, or weather scientists.
Since tornadoes are a form of weather, the scientists who study tornadoes are weather scientists of meteorologists.
Meteorologists study the weather and try to predict it.
Meteorologists are scientists who study and predict weather patterns.
Since tornadoes are a weather phenomenon most of the scientists who study them are meteorologists. Most storm chasers are not scientists.
Tornadoes can be predicted only to a very limited degree. By looking at weather conditions meteorologists can sometimes predict if a large general region might get tornadoes hours or even days ahead of time, but not exactly where or when tornadoes will strike. On a time scale of minutes meteorologists can often tell if a thunderstorm has the potential to produce a tornado, but still cannot be certain if a tornado will form or exactly where it will go.

meteorologists study tornadoes, they learn more about them by chasing them. it's a dangerous job since you never know with path a tornado is going to take.
