Yes. The Sun has just about all the elements found on Earth, but in different quantities (lots of hydrogen and helium; much less of the heavier elements).

Is it possible for a comet with iron in it to pass through the sun's atmosphere and destroy it and how long would it take for the sun to be destroyed by it?

A comet would not have enough iron to affect the Sun in any measurable way. Even a Jupiter-sized planet made of iron would not stop solar activity. The production of iron by a star is an endothermic fusion reaction. Any mass of iron nearing the Sun would be vaporized, and whatever entered the solar interior would circulate for many hundreds of years before any could reach the core.
