When entering IRA or Roth IRA contributions does this include everything that was taken out normally from my paycheck? If so, is this already covered by my W2?

IRA contributions are not taken from a paycheck. If reported in box 12 on your W-2 then it does not get entered anywhere else.

No, you do not include contributions to your work retirement account (as shown on your W-2) in the IRA contribution section under Deduction & Credits. TurboTax is only asking about contribution to traditional IRA and Roth IRA.
