Yes and no. The source code is available for almost all programs, and is made available in unofficial and semi-official form as CentOS and Fedora, respectively. However, RHEL, when branded as such, is only available through purchasing a support plan.
Red Hat had two versions of Linux, one for home/consumer/desktop use, and one for commercial/enterprise/server use (Red Hat Enterprise Linux).
A few years ago, Red Hat decided to focus only on RHEL. The consumer/desktop version was renamed Fedora and given to the community to support.
If you are looking for an older version of Red Hat, you can Google the specific version you are looking for and a number of mirrors will appear - but I would recommend against this, it's no longer supported or updated, and you'll probably have issues with it and newer hardware.
