Probably not successfully.
Joint ownership with rights of survivorship means that that joint owner gets the property on the death of the other joint owner. That's the way it works. It has nothing to do with her will, because rights of survivorship bypass the will and do not go through probate.
The only real grounds that could be contested is if the initial transfer to joint ownership itself was not valid. In other words, that the joint ownership was never properly formed. But that is difficult to prove.
If you want to challenge the conveyance, you should consult with a licensed attorney. The above is general legal theory, not legal advice.

You can, but it's difficult to show your case.
Rights of surviorship means that if one owner dies, the interest of the owner's in the property will pass to the remaining owner or owners.
In order to successfully contest it, one has to show the rights to survivorship was not created properly.
You have to get advice from an attorney who specializes in that.
