If they believe it would be in the best interest of the child at the present time, yes. But that is usually a last resort.
2 :
If they see evidence that the child is in danger they can/will/should. A parent being treated for "mental health issues" does not necessarily endanger the child. If they are suspicious that a child is in potential danger, they will remove it, and they may remove a child temporarily if their is any indication. Suspicion of child endangerment is always there, and any recognized possibility will be investigated.

Definitely but. there has got to be more to it than you've said. or that you know. For 8 1/2 yrs I ' volunteered' for SCAN (SUSPECTED CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT) here in Arkansas I absolutely loved it and I have been out of it for almost 10yrs. now. But childrens safety is CPS WHOLE responsibility, that and the childs stability.. For instance if the parent ends up being Bi-Polar thats a whole different ballgame. Are You the parent or are you the child?????
