I have pinned his knight to his king, freezing his knight. But he can put me in check with this knight, can he do so and who has mate?

In the hypothetical situation you've outlined here, the knight can't move. It'd be illegal.

I like to think of it as if you are allowed to capture the king. If he moves his knight, you take his king and win. Now it's too late for him to take yours.
