On your first question, yes, absolutely cases can be settled out of court and withdrawn from SCOTUS agenda. This actually happens fairly often in labor and strike conflicts where the parties agree to binding arbitration as an alternative.

On your second question regarding CFPB triggering an identical conclusion for FHFA, the more confusing answer would be: maybe... maybe not. It is logical to conclude the similarities would point to equivalence. However, the single Director status was enacted under different statutes so SCOTUS could take a different posture on FHFA. Just have to wait it out come Fall.

"1) can cases be withdrawn from supreme Court because both the parties agreed for something?"

When SCOTUS takes cases which involve interpretation of constitution and laws, probably SCOTUS does not care even if both the parties agree and settle. SCOTUS will rule anyway.

"2) If yes, by default won't CFPB rule apply for FHFA also? That it is an independent body and can be dismissed by President"

CFPB ruling applies to all cases. SCOTUS has taken Collin's case to rule on additional issues.
