Are domains considered Intellectual Property or a business and is an employer allowed to sue for them even if they are not related to their business?

Check your contract to see what your employer owns and doesn't own.

Just to be clear: anyone can sue for (almost) anything whether it is reasonable or not.

Whether they win has a lot to do with many, many details regarding the contract, and details like where you registered it, what your job is, and others.
