can i keep a betta in a 20 gallon with
4 albino corys

and a common plec

or will my betta try to kill them all or end up getting killed itself, and will my plec try to suck on it.

I think you should rethink your stocking a bit. Common plecos get WAY too big for a 20g. I believe the rainbow shark also needs a much larger territory.
Cories and a betta should be fine though.

Pleco is destined for a 120 gallon
Same with the raiinbow shark...
their both much smaller than the fish in the 120 and i dont want them eaten.

The Betta & the Corydoras will be fine, but i would wait till you have a much larger tank for the common Pleco.

i would down size a bit, why not an otto instead of a pleco, and really given the tank set-up and filter, the betta can be fine or can't be fine. if u dont get the sharks and the pleco, then 1 betta and a few more coryies will do nicely together. but really bettas are best by themselves.
