Retirement tax questions

No, you would not have tax withheld.   The return of contributions will not be taxable, but any earnings on it will be.  That will be reported on a 1099-R in box 2a.   You won't receive that 1099-R until next year so you might have to amend your 2015 tax return to report it (and pay the tax on the earnings - if any).
