My friend open an ITF account. Her beneficiary was her father, so all the pension checks of her father were deposited in that account. The institution who gave the pension agreed to this setting. Her father died. Who is the owner of the account? Does she have the authority to withdraw everything? Can it be considered as an heir account subject to a possible two year moratorium?

The account should not have been used for her father's pension checks. It was your friend's account, not her father's, and his funds didn't belong there.
The account continues to be your friend's, and since her father is no longer alive, the ITF designation is now meaningless. She can withdraw from the account without restriction.
