Title asks it all. “Banning” TikTok – is that at all possible?

They can’t due to the constitution. The security risks that Congress outlines have only been theoretical. The current Supreme Court would almost certainly strike down the law.
And to the proponents of this ban, do you really want a precedent for the government to ban a form of speech because of whatever they define as a security risk?
