Yes, the impact of removing all the organisms in a trophic level will be different for different trophic levels.

No, the organisms of any trophic level cannot be removed without causing any damage to the ecosystem.

Consider the following example:

Grass \rightarrowDeer \rightarrow Lion

1. If all the grass is removed, the deer will die out due to starvation which in turn will wipe out the lions. 

2. If all the deer population is removed, the lions will die out due to starvation. The grasses will increase in number and turn the land into forests. 

3. If all the lions are removed, the population of deer will keep on increasing which in turn will eat all the grass leaving the land barren.
