PHB, p 195: A grappled creature can use its action to escape. To do so, it must succeed on a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check contested by your Strength (Athletics) check. Just as in their attempt to fight the grapple with either Athletics or Acrobatics, they can choose either in their Escape.
Does it take an action to release a grapple?
It doesn’t matter who started the grapple. You can escape a grapple by winning an opposed grapple check in place of making an attack. You can make an Escape Artist check in place of your grapple check if you so desire, but this requires a standard action.
Can you reverse a grapple 5E?
Yes, you can grapple a creature who has grappled you. The condition ends if the grappler is incapacitated (see the condition). The condition also ends if an effect removes the grappled creature from the reach of the grappler or grappling effect, such as when a creature is hurled away by the thunderwave spell.
Can a grappler stop the save to telekinesis?
Correct, the grappler can’t stop this, provided the geometry works out. As you correctly stated, your ally can willingly fail the save to Telekinesis, being moved automatically, and being moved out of reach ends a grapple. There’s no option for a grappler to prevent this. However, positioning and enemy reach are important here.
