"I ask You by Your outstretched Hands, by the Nobility of Your Face, by the Noor of Your Eyes and by the perfection of Your Eyes, that you grant us the good of everything that is in conformity with Your Will, connected to Your Power; that Your Pen has written and that Your Knowledge has encompassed. And (I ask You) to prevent us from the harm of everything that is other than that. And (I ask that You) perfect our Deen, complete Your favour upon us and take our Arwaah (souls) with Your (Own) Hand."

It is not from the Masnoon Du`aas, though. Meaning, it is not from the Qur'aan and nor is it from Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Sahaabah.
At the end of the Du`aa, the one who has written it has asked that Allaah Ta`aalaa take our Arwaah by His Own Hand. However, we know that Allaah Ta`aalaa has appointed Malak-ul-Maut (The Angel of Death) for this task.
Yes, it is. In the Qur'aan, Allaah Ta`aalaa makes mention of Yad (Hand), Wajh (Face), A`yun (Eyes), when referring to Himself. However, it must be kept in mind that there is no resemblance between Allaah Ta`aalaa and His creation. Allaah Ta`aalaa knows best what these words mean when used to refer to Him.

The best duas are those which were taught to us by Nabi, which are the masnoon duas. They are comprehensive and encompassing our daily lives. It is more effective.
For removing bad things from destiny you can make any kind of dua in your own language asking Allah swt for safety and goodness in this world and akhirah, but even the masnoon duas will have a good effect.
Thats my input and understanding on the topic but hope it can be clarified by
@huzaifa
h ibn Adam.
The dua i mentioned here is given to people by the title " Dua of taqdeer (destiny)" and is told that it eliminates bad things from destiny.
Every Muslim knows that Allah appointed the angel of death to take the souls. But in this du'a the writer use words " take our Arwaah (souls) with Your (Own) Hand". The writer also use words " Your outstretched Hands, ... Nobility of Your Face, .. the Noor of Your Eyes", which are metaphor. It shows that this du'a actually is poem.
I am familiar with Sufi poems. That's why when I read that du'a I recognize that as "poetic du'a" that often taken as nasheed lyrics in my place.

Yes, Sufi poems or supplications can be extremely metaphorical, even I was taken aback when I read some - they are definitely *not* to be taken literally, nor as a literal description of aqeedah or anything like that.
And they shouldn't be used as duas, we have so mant excellent duas within the Qur'an itself and given to us by the Prophet (peace be upon him). I'd recommend you get a book called the 'Fortress of the Muslims', you can get it online for a couple of pounds and it's an excellent little book with a comprehensive dua list.
