SVO vs SOV and A lot of other questions

Do any languages switch between the SVO and SOV in different cases, and is that
valid. For example, my language {Aryezi} has an SVO structure, except when
usuing pronouns, when it becomes an SOV.
Ex) Se sanos gaoñ (I saw a cow)
Se ganya sanos (I saw him) which can also work inversley
as Gan mêz sanos (he saw me)
There is also another problem in my language. I'm wondering what it is called when a
verb from changes from something doing the action to the action being done to
it, for example : I kill/I am being killed. I simply solved this by doing this
: Se hash (I kill)/ Se hashya (I am being killed).
Also, from the verb "to like" I derived 2 adjectives, liked and likable. Is there
such a major difference in these two, that it is reconmendable to make two
adjective forms for all my words, one of them expressing "able?"
