Do RadX and RadAway from Fallout exist in real life? How do we medically prevent and treat radiation poisoning?

Nope, not really. Prevention is not exposing yourself to gamma radiation and wearing protective equipment and a respirator to avoid alpha and beta emitting dust getting inside your body through ingesting, breathing, etc. Tgere are some ways to help flush out some particles that got in – like taking a lot of iodine to prevent radioactive iodine from binding in the thyroid due to lack of space, but these are not universal.
Once you got acute radiation syndrome, the only treatment is trying to keep you alive long enough for your healthy cells to replicate and replace those that got fucked. In some cases, this involves organ or bone marrow transplants. If too many cells got damaged all over, then the patient basically just rots alive. Fun!
