If someone takes a plea and signs the plea papers but hasn’t been to sentencing, can that person withdraw the plea?

Your husband can withdraw his plea. The victim is coming to court, because the prosecutor controls the charges.

Can I be charged with murder if my friend gets shot while we rob a house?

In California, yes. It's called the "felony murder rule". Similar to the case in the news where the woman shot the intruder, and the intruders partner was charged with his murder. I believe only seventeen states have this law. It is more often applied when an individual shoots and kills someone during a robbery, and the "non involved/non shooter" can be charged with murder.

Can I sue the person who provoked a fight that caused someone to die?

I handle exclusively criminal defense matters. I do not know the answer to your question as a lawyer and would direct you to contact a personal injury lawyer. It is my gut instinct that you would not be able to sue the provoker of the fight as each person is assumed to have free will and your grandson took steps that led to a shooting. Good luck.
