Metals form cations, but before ionic bonding. An ionic bond forms from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions. So the ions form first, then the ionic bond.
Ions of opposite charge, cations (+ve) and anions (-ve)
Potassium loses its one valence electron to form a cation with a +1 charge. This will allow it bond easily with non-metal anions to form an ionic compound with an ionic bond.
Usually, a metal and non metal combine and form an ionic bond. There are exceptions though, such as ammonium nitrate.
Because by definition, ionic bond is the force of attraction between positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. To form ions, atoms should be gained (resulting in anions) and lost (resulting in cations).

Anions- negatively charged ions- these are the ONLY species that form ionic bonds with cations!
Yes, they form an ionic bond, which is an easily formed bond.

Non metals generally form anions. They gain electrons during ionic bonding.

Halogens form both ionic and covalent bonds.
