If the piece is unprotected and within reach, the king can take it.

He can't just attack it. He has to capture it.

Not necessarily. Obviously he can't attack a queen as that wouldn't get him out of check, but it could work with all other pieces.

That's the usual punishment for asinine statements/poor spelling/bad grammar.
