In my experience, a restraining order cannot be issued until after a court hearing has been held in which case BOTH sides get to tell their story to the judge or hearing officer. However if the respondent fails to appear for the hearing it could be issued due to their default, at which time it becomes incumbent upon them to request a court hearing to defend against the action.

No, a restraining order is typically not applicable for slander, which is a form of defamation involving false spoken statements.
