Can you have a 401K and an IRA?
You can have as many 401k plans and IRA's as you would like. However, to have a 401k plan, it has to be through your employer, and there are limits to what you can put in. With an IRA, you can have several of them but there really isn't much of a point as it will just confuse your financial plan.

What is a Roth IRA and how can one go about investing in one?
IRA stands for individual retirement account. A Roth IRA is a retirement account that you put money into in order to invest. The money you put in has already been taxed on your income tax returns. You put money in, invest it, it grows(hopefully), and when you take it out at retirement, the gains on your investments don't get taxed. If you take it out before retirement, however, there are tax penalties, so don't take it out. You can get a Roth IRA for free from most banks and online stock trading companies. Roth IRA's are different from Traditional 401k's in that you put money in a Traditional 401k through your employer pre-tax and the gains get taxed when you take it out at retirement.

What is a 401k Rollover?
When you work for an employer who offers a 401k, it often makes sense to contribute as much as you can toward your retirement. By putting money into a 401k, you may also qualify for matching contributions from your employer. If you change jobs or get fired, you will need to address the money that is in your 401k at that point. You don't want to simply leave the money behind, as you would lose out on all of the savings that you set aside.401k RolloverWhen you leave your job, one of the options that you have is to engage in a 401k rollover. This is a process that involves transferring money from your existing 401k over to a new retirement account. For example, you could transfer the money from your 401k to a new 401k at a new job. You could also transfer the money from your 401k to an IRA or a Roth IRA. If you transfer the money to another 401k or a traditional IRA, the money will retain its favorable tax status. If you transfer the money to a Roth IRA, taxes must be paid on the money because it uses a different tax status.How it WorksWhen you are interested in engaging in a 401k rollover, the process is generally quite simple. You start the process by opening a new retirement account such as a 401k or an IRA. Then you notify your new account provider that you are going to be rollover funds from an old account. You then go back to your old provider and request a rollover. You will then have to fill out a form for your old account provider with information about your new account. At that point, your old provider will send the money from your old account to your new retirement account.ConsiderationsIf you are considering simply taking the money out of your 401k after you quit your job, you could use up a lot of your retirement funds. When you take this approach, you have to pay a penalty and pay taxes on the money, which will really eat into your retirement funds.
Am I entitled to money I put into 401k plans at previous jobs if I've never been fully vested and if so how do I go about getting that money?
The money that was taken from your pay and not taxed and contributed to a 401k plan is your money. Even though you were not vested in the plan, this is still your money. Vesting will make employer contributions to the 401k plan available to you. When you signed up for the 401k plan you were given a copy of the Summary Plan Description. In that document, it describes when and how you can get your money. This document also tells you what the tax consequences are for taking your money under various circustances. Read your Summary Plan Description. If you do not have The Summmary Plan Description, contact the 401k custodian/trustee and ask for a copy. This may be a good idea anyway because these plan descriptions change from time to time. Generally the best thing to do is to move this 401k money to a Traditional IRA using a Trustee to Trustee Transfer. The Trustee to Trustee Transfer to the IRA can be done by determining where you want your IRA. Contact that orginzation and tell them what you want to do. This new IRA custodian/trustee will help you through the process. After signing some papers, they will see that the transfer of your old 401k funds is done properly and deposited into your IRA. This IRA will be called a ROllover IRA. Doing this Trustee to Trustee Transfer is not a taxable event.

Where can someone get Roth IRA information?
There are a multitude of places one could find information about a Roth IRA account. One could go to their bank and speak with a financial adviser. They could also read a book on investing such as "Roth IRA Book: an investors guide". Additionally many sites online offer information, such as the IRS government site.
How do you get your 401k from old jobs you haven't worked for in years?
The easiest way is to open a traditional IRA account (not a Roth IRA) for a "rollover". A company like Fidelity or Vanguard can help you set up the account and do the rollover. Make sure that the funds go directly to the IRA (not a check made out to you), so that you don't get hit with taxes, penalties and disqualification of the funds. If you do it right, it's a completely non-taxable transfer.
