If I am pushing a pawn to queen it & my opponent has no choice but to move his king back & forth on the same two squares is that considered a draw? Thanks for any response.

yes. 3 times in the same position is considered a draw. hit "claim draw" no need to offer a draw, its an auto draw situation

If xe's pushing xyr pawn, it's not the same position.

So that would be a no with a pawn march.
