The king is said to be in check.To get out of check, the opponent must either (1) capture the checking piece, (2) interpose a piece between the checking piece and the king, or (3) move the king out of check.
Yes, it can, as long as it doesn't put the king in check. PS, it's "capture", not "kill".
Yes. If you have your opponents king under threat, you have to say check. If you have their king in a position to take it and they have no move left to save it, you say checkmate.No, you don't have to say check or checkmate. I used to play in USCF tournaments and we never did.

the king gets the role of the queen
Opponents believed having a single executive was just like having one king.
By pinning the king along the edge of the board. You want your king on the same rank or file as the king with one space in between. Then all you have to do is get your queen in between the kings. Checkmate.
There is no forced win. However positions are possible: Opponents king: a8 Your king: a6 Your knights: b6,c6
No , the king cannot directly check the opposing king himself, since this would place the first king in check.
Can only move one space in any direction. Can not touch opponents king. If taken the game is over.
If by moving up to a square, you mean an adjacent square, yes, as long as the square is not threatened by any opposing piece. This is the only way a King can attack another piece. A King cannot enter any square that is attacked by an opposing piece, i.e. place himself in check. He also cannot castle across an attacked square (king's bishop 1-f1, or queen 1-d1), but it does not matter if the rook or queen's knight squares are attacked, because he does not cross or land on those squares. He cannot castle out of check.
no it cannot.
