The short answer is that you can, but you may not want to.
Can you claim in an autobiography that specific person X abused you? Yes, you can.
Can person X sue you for doing so? Yes, they can.
In the US, truth is an absolute defense against a defamation claim, but you might be forced to prove the truth of your statements in order to win the lawsuit, which may be very difficult. In most states, alleging sexual abuse would fall into one or more categories of statements regarded as intrinsically defamatory (the plaintiff does not need to prove the statements were defamatory; the court will automatically regard them so, and your only real defense is to show that they're true).

Can you place a protection order on someone who placed an order on you?
You can apply for one but in my experience they are rarely granted. Sometimes known in law enforcement and the courts as "Criss-Cross" protection orders, or "tit-for-tat" protection orders. The protection you seek is already incorporated into the wording of the original order (i.e.: if you are forbidden from approaching them, then THEY also are forbidden from approaching you). If the original order expires or is withdrawn and you feel you still need protection, THEN you can apply for your very own order.
