The act of purposefully writing checks on closed accounts?

The act of purposefully writing checks on a closed account is called a Felony or a Crime. Writing a check on a account that is closed/inactive is a crime. Customers are not supposed to do that and if they do, the bank can report it and take legal action against the offending customer. The customer can be fined or jailed for doing so. The penalties are the same irrespective of the country/city you live in.

Can a power of attorney write checks to themselves?

The permission to write checks on an account depends on whether the power of attorney (PoA) is general or limited. The general PoA allows the holder to do practically anything the grantor can legally do. A limited PoA would have to stipulate that writing checks on the grantor's account is permitted. If the PoA allows it, and writing a check to yourself is not prohibited by the bank policy, the answer is YES.
