Of course they can. It's their website. We hope they don't, and we'd hope that if they did the users would hold them accountable, but they could totally do it.

They definitely can, and have done it before.

It's been done many times before. Admins are able to remove and add mods at will, delete subreddits and hand them to other people.
Keeping it private will just result in the mods losing all their power and having it switch to a new team.
