Of course. Since a 16 year old can commit a crime without their parent's attendance, they can also be arrested without their parents.

Whether or not they can be questioned is a different matter and should be researched locally if necessary.

If you live in Texas with joint custody can one parent take the child out of the country to visit relatives without consent of the other parent and should you prevent this?

When a child under the age of 18 is traveling outside the U.S. with only one parent or a third party there must be notarized written permission from the absent parent(s) or legal guardian. Without this authorization the parent/adult would not be allowed to legally take the child out of the U.S. If the joint custodial parent feels there is the possibility of the child being taken w/o their consent, they need to contact the authorities. The objecting parent must be able to show proof of their custody rights, preferably custody documents issued by the court.

Is being handcuffed consider arrested?

Not necessarily - it is known as 'being restrained." It can, and usually does, accompany arrest, but there are instances when an officer may permissibly handcuff an individual for their own protection while conducting an investigation which may, in fact, not lead to the individuals arrest. This can occur during a lawful encounter known as a "Terry stop."
