You have to check you’re 401k plan. There are some that allow for general 401k loans and primary residence 401k loans. Usually the only distinction is the life of the loan.
General 401k loans can have up to a 5 years to pay it back and primary residence loans can go up to 10 years.
Since this is an investment property it probably won’t qualify for the primary residence loan, unless you go down the house hack/owner occupied route.
If you take out a general 401k loan you can do whatever you want with the money.

I don’t believe you can borrow from a 401k for a non-primary residence. But I do believe you can use a self directed IRA to buy real estate (granted I’ve heard you can’t have debt against the property, so it needs to be cash).
Yes

You can borrow against your 401k

No, you can’t. Probably some IRA you can
