I think repaying your loan by withdrawing from your PF will be a better option as it will benefit you in the long run. Thus instead of paying interest for for three and half years more, you can repay your loan in lump sum and become free of that and on the monthly subscription of your PF you will keep on earning interest which will be more than you would have paid otherwise.

If you mean by withdrawing from your PF accumulation - check if the PF withdrawal is allowed on a non refundable basis or on refundable basis. If on refundable basis, check the rate of interest charged on the repayment towards PF Loan. Ascertain the rate difference. Based on this you take a call so that you really benefit.
PF withdrawals on non-refundable basis are available only for specific purposes. Check this too.

Not possible till you have encashed the PF amount after leaving your job - while on job you can't encash PF.
If you have the PF amount - sure you can - contact the bank - pay it with foreclosure charges.
If not - keep paying the EMI'S
