They can be. The cabin crew will communicate to the flight crew when the interior is ready, they won’t takeoff without it, and someone refusing to sit down or buckle up definitely counts as not ready.
If a passenger gets up and causes a disturbance later, that would also get communicated to the flight crew and, shot of the plane having started its takeoff roll, there’s a good chance everyone is going back to the gate to remove this person.

They do if the captain is waiting for the final go ahead from the tower. They can’t go anywhere until everything is secure and ready to go.
