Absolutely No, one cannot withdraw himself/herself unilaterally from any settlement. this issue has been settled by High Court of Bombay as well as The Supreme court of India so you need not to bother about it. it can be resolved easily by recoursing the established procedure of law

Yes, any party can withdraw their consent before the filing of Second motion. In that case she will have to return back the amount (if so mentioned in the MOU). Also, on the basis of settlement, you should get the FIR registered under 498-A quashed before second motion.
