The typical age of withdrawal for an IRA is 70 and 1/2. If you have a Traditional IRA you are required to start withdrawals on April 1st the calendar year after you reach this age. If you have a Roth IRA you are not required to withdraw at that time.
Well, it's a bit complicated and you may take a tax hit if you withdrawl your account completely. Are you close to retirement age? What tax bracket do you think you'll be at when you retire?

A 401k and a IRA are different. A 401k is a employer sponsored plan while a IRA is not. A Roth grows tax free, while a 401k is taxed when you withdrawl the funds.
Yes. You are required to start taking out certain withdrawls from your IRA after reaching the age 70.5. The requirement is actually not that you make the actual withdrawls but that you pay tax on this amount as if you had made the withdrawl required. From a reality standpoint it is actually easier if you do take the withdrawl and put it into another account so that you can keep up with what amount has been taxed and what has not been taxed in your IRA account.
People have many questions regarding Roth IRA's. Some typical frequently asked questions about Roth IRA's are "Are there any penalties for cashing out my IRA early?" and "can i convert my traditional IRA into a Roth IRA?"
There is no age limit for contributing to a traditional IRA, but contributions to a traditional IRA are no longer allowed once a person reaches the age of 70 ½. For a Roth IRA, there is no age limit for contributions as long as the individual has earned income.
no
60 days from the distribution date to avoid the 10% early withdrawl and/or any taxes due if the IRA is a traditional and not a Roth. I would suggest a direct rollover so as to have a paper trail between custodians.
