You have not stated the exact estate you own, but either tenant in common can sell their individual interest. Usually no prudent buyer would purchase without receiving the fee simple absolute conveyed by all titled owners. Partition is also a possibility.

As a general matter, it is not a requirement to have a will typed, and there is no requirement that the will be typed by someone other than yourself.

Yes, as long as your grandmother still has legal capacity (she knows what she is doing), she can revoke the prior POA and appoint someone else. If she does not have capacity, then no.
