Is a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release of All Claims a contract?

Yes it is a contract. This is because it has all the elements of a contract. An offer from one party to settle the case for a certain amount of money and an acceptance of that offer. Both parties are competent to make the contract and there is a full meeting of the minds in a case like that. The settlement will call for payment within a certain period of time and if it is not made then, the person receiving the money has the right to declare a breach of the contract and either ask the court to reinstate the case or compel payment.

If a case was settled out of court for money and the person accused was innocent can the money be given back?
The money can always be "given" back, but that is not really what you are asking. Generally, settlement agreements waive and release the parties from future claims and future discoveries regarding facts. As such, unless the settlement agreement says differently, there will normally not be any obligation to undo the settlement agreement after new facts are discovered or confirmed. Also, in civil litigation, there is no "innocent" or "guilty" - only liable and not liable.
