Vacation, sure, why not. To move, no. However, there is the question of passports and if they don't have them, the will probably need both parents consent to get them.

If not in the agreement the nothing prohibits this.

If the custody agreement is silent on the issue, then try to get an Order entered amending that agreement, to specify parameters on taking the kids out of country for the purposes of vacation (i.e. requiring one parent to notify the other parent, in writing, whenever they want to take the children out of the country, and include dates and locations and emergency contact phone numbers).

Probably but you should have someone look at the custody agreement. Is the tiger parent refusing permission?
