    Yes, they can. The can take assets that are normally protected from creditors, such as IRA and 401(k) assets. See: IRS Collection Process

    As long as the funds remain within the plan, I don't believe that they IRS can take them. Further, I don't believe that the IRS can force a distribution. However, if the funds are distributed, then the IRS can take the funds.
