No, however another amendment can be passed that repeals it. Look at amendments 18 & 21.
Unlike most constitutions, amendments to the U.S. constitution are appended to the existing body of the text, rather than being revisions of or insertions into the main articles. There is no provision for expunging from the text obsolete or rescinded provisions

It can be repealed, but not removed.
The 18th amendment was repealed with the passing of the 21st amendment.

Yes congress can repeal an amendment. Prohibition is the best (if not only) example.

the process that can modify or remove an something is the constitution must be the same than the one that has put it inside.

Yes, and it has been done. Case in point, Prohibition. The eighteenth amendment.

It gets repealed, requires the same vote that put it there.
