A car that is actually YOURS cannot be repossessed, as it's paid off. If you have a vehicle being repossessed, they're able to do this because it's actually the finance company which owns that vehicle and possesses their title. A recovery agent can, on behalf of the lienholder, go onto private property in order to recover the lienholder's property - with limitations. They cannot cross a locked gate, and they cannot enter a locked building.

Yes, as long as the repossessor does not commit a "breach of the peace" in doing so. In other words, they can't break into your garage and take it, but if it's just sitting on your driveway or in a parking lot (even if that parking lot is technically "private property" in the sense that it's owned by someone other than the government), too bad for you.
