Q: When there are 4 people on deed to house can a person now sue for there money back if no contract was signed
A:
Yes, any of the four people can file for a partition of the property which forces a sale of the property. The money from the sale is then divided between the four owners.

A: Yes, and you should try to avoid this outcome as it will take time and cost money to pursue what is called a Partition Action (Partition of Real Property), see Florida Statute 64 for specifics. I would encourage you to find amicable resolution outside of forced partition, if possible, in order to avoid this outcome by buying out the 4th owner or agreeing to sell the property.
