My granddaughter’s iPad was lost or stolen if I call Apple and give them the serial number can they locate where the iPad is even if the iPad is off and in lost mode

Here is Apple’s advice for lost or stolen devices:
If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is lost or stolen – Apple Support
Use the Find My app to locate a lost or stolen device – Apple Support
If the Find My iPad feature was enabled prior to it being “misplaced”, then if active, you would stand a good chance of locating it.
However, if the feature was not activated prior to being misplaced - or the iPad has been inactive for more than 24 hours, the last known location will not be available - and the opportunity to use technical means to recover the iPad have been lost.

If it is turned off it is nothing more than an inert hunk of plastic, glass and metal. There is nothing anyone can do remotely with a device that is powered off.
And Apple doesn’t take reports of lost or stolen personal property and doesn’t search for anyone’s devices.
