If I have money in a Roth, are there restrictions on its disposition?

Let me explain.

If I take money out of a Roth, it is not taxed. But must I spend it instantly or can I take it away, invest it elsewhere and those earnings also be tax-free?

Are earnings tax-free only if they occur while inside the Roth? Or, having passed through the Roth, are they always off the radar?

Does the Roth have to stay in the US?

Can I remove money from the Roth and take it offshore where it can also grow tax-free?
