Murder was not entirely legal in ancient Greece, but certain circumstances allowed for it to be socially accepted or legally sanctioned. For instance, acts of homicide could be justified in cases of self-defense or during warfare. Additionally, various city-states had different laws and customs; for example, the practice of blood vengeance allowed families to seek retribution without legal consequences. Nonetheless, the perception of legality often depended on societal norms and the context of the act, rather than a uniform legal system.
Individuals settled their problems between each other - the city-state did not intervene. A murder was hard to define - it would be an unfair killing as opposed to a usual contest. As civilisation developed, problems were usually settled between families by negotiating payments in order to prevent ongoing vendetta killing, and killings were looked at with suspicion. An example is the trial of Eratosthenes, with claims of a set-up murder on one side and righteous defence retaliation on the other.
Murder has never been completely legal in any society. Throughout history, various civilizations have had different laws and norms regarding killing, but generally, murder has been considered a crime. Some societies have practiced forms of legalized killing, such as during wartime or in the context of capital punishment, but these are exceptions rather than a blanket legality of murder itself. Overall, the act of murder is universally condemned and punished across cultures and legal systems.

Difficult to answer simply. No, not in a legal sense. Attempted murder is a completely different offence. Of course the attempted murder of a child IS abuse but the charge is different, it may also be an additional charge. Being charged with child abuse is not the same as being charged with the attempted murder of a child.
