Only a technician who examines your drive will be able to answer that.

It is is possible that it might have to be sent out to recovery specialists to recover your data. If so you will be looking a a cost around $$$$ for your data.

It can be removed. If it is a non-retina MBP, you can do it yourself with a #00 Phillip[s driver and a #6 Torx driver. If it is a retina, have an Apple store genius bar technician do it for you. A proprietary pentalobe driver is required to open the MBP.

You might try target disk mode if there is any life in the damaged MBP:
