All states have constitutional procedures to remove an elected official. They are: recall, removal upon conviction of a felony, malfeasance or nonfeasance while in office or incapacity due to illness or insanity.

There are no provisions in the U.S. Constitution for recall of congressional representatives or senators. It does not forbid it. There is no discussion of it. For such to occur would most likely involve a trip to the U.S. Supreme Court.
But, people do resign under fire for unethical practices, allowing for special elections to replace them.

Depends on state law of state from which they were elected. Generally, about half of the states, more or less, have recall laws. Difficult threshold however.

I don't think so. Congress has the authority to expel members.
