A passanger opened the taxi's door and took it right off.

Does it mean he seperated the door from the car?

I opened the car's door without looking. A moving car hit the door and took it off. Is it correct?

The door is no longer attached to the car.

(A car that's not moving wouldn't hit anything.)
 
Take care with your spelling - it's passenger.
 
A passenger opened the taxi's door and took it right off. Grammatical, but unlikely. It means the passenger ripped the door off the car with his bare hands.

I opened the car's door without looking. A moving (or better: passing) car hit the door and took it off. Is it correct? It's okay. The passing car hit the open door, tearing it off.

See above.
