Answer 1

Edited the Fiddle... just try this

FiddleLink (Should work now, button and p-tag will be removed)

HTML

<p id="addTask"> <b><u> Tasks </u></b> </p>
<input type='text' id='inputTask'/>
<input type='button' onclick='addText()' value='Add To List'/>

JS

var row = 0;
function addText(){
    var input = document.getElementById('inputTask').value;
    if(input != "")
    {
    var node=document.createElement("p");
    var textnode=document.createTextNode(input);
    node.appendChild(textnode);
        node.setAttribute("id","contentP"+row);
    document.getElementById('addTask').appendChild(node);

    var removeTask = document.createElement('input');
    removeTask.setAttribute('type', 'button');
    removeTask.setAttribute("value", "Remove");
    removeTask.setAttribute("id", "removeButton");
    removeTask.setAttribute("onClick", "deleterow("+ row +");");

    node.appendChild(removeTask);
        row++;
    }
    else
    {
        alert("Please insert a value!");
    }

}
function deleterow(ID)
{
    document.getElementById('contentP'+ID).remove();
}

You can simply assign event:

 removeTask.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
        node.parentNode.removeChild(node);
    });

Use this

              // +your code 
             .....
             node.appendChild(removeTask);
                // + modify
                removeTask.onclick = function(e){
                    var dom = this;
                    var p_dom = this.parentNode;
                    console.log(p_dom);
                    var parent_node = p_dom.parentNode;
                    parent_node.removeChild(p_dom);
                }
