Yes you can but you will have tax consequences. You placed this ? under annuities. You can roll your 401K or IRA into an annuity with no tax issues. And with current guarantees of 6% for the next 10 years why not?
If it is a traditional IRA there are tax consequences. When you say cash it in early, to me that means prior to age 59 -1/2, Roth or traditional, there is are financial consequences. There is a 10% penalty for early withdrawal.
You would not want to do this in any way. The Roth would be taxed is as a distribution including penalties.
The biggest difference between an IRA CD and non-IRA CD is the tax consequences. IRAs (Individual Retirement Accounts) can contain a variety of investments, such as mutual funds, bonds, realestate, and of course CDs

There is no Roth IRA tax deduction, but this does not mean that the Roth IRA does not have tax implications. More information can be found by asking an accountant.
No. Gains and losses taken in your IRA is outside of your tax situation.
On a standar IRA, Yes (you didn't pay tax on the $ contributed or as it grew). On a Roth IRA, (where you paid the tax on the income before contribution), No.
A traditional IRA is tax-deferred. You pay tax on the money when you withdraw it. A Roth IRA is funded with after-tax money, so you do not pay any additional income tax when you withdraw the principle or the earned interest.
An after-tax IRA (a Roth IRA) will not reduce your taxes in the current year. You will not get any kind of deduction on your current taxes for contributions to a Roth IRA. However, when you retire the distributions from the Roth IRA will be tax free. A Traditional IRA will give you a deduction on your current year taxes, but the distributions will be taxed as income when you retire.
Everything that is in a Roth IRA is non tax deductible. You can get a tax credit of 50% on the first $2000 that you contribute to the IRA if you meet qualifications. The qualifications a listed on this site: http://www.your-roth-ira.com/roth-IRA-tax-credit.html
Federal IRS rules and regulations dictate what is legal for self-directed IRAs, not states. Of course non-recourse loans are fine, but there are tax consequences to your IRA and the transaction that you are leveraging your IRA with the loan that is being taken out. Consult a tax professional that understands self-directed IRA's to further clarify.
