If I'm rooted, can I see which user commands are being executed? For this I have to look at their .bash_history? Can a user clear their .bash_history file?

Linux is the kernel of the OS. Nobody enters any commands into the kernel.
To log commands entered in distributions of operating systems based on the Linux kernel, for example, in Ubuntu GNU / Linux, you can use logger, since the owner can easily edit ~/.bash_history as he pleases.

in my .bashrc I always put alias hh="history", and I call this mine haha to see the numbered history of my "clicks", and then, using !number, I repeat my clicks or just !number:p to just highlight and maybe . fix the command line (see mana on bash - on editing the command line - this was once introduced in sishel, but then transferred to bashel)
