There is no"voluntary deportation". You probably mean "voluntary departure". If that is the case, it depends on why you are in removal proceeding in the first place. If you have violated other immigration laws, such as overstaying your authorized stay; entering without inspection; accepting unauthorized employment, failure to otherwise maintain your status, you may be barred for 3 years or even 10 years to return to the US.

Short answer: YES BUT if you have accrued unlawful presence, you may not come back 3 or 10 years unless you qualify for a waiver.

Yes, but the visa you may qualify for may be affected by the immigration violation underlying your order of voluntary departure. You should consult with an experienced immigration attorney with full details of your immigration history.
