Chlorine is very electronegative and pulls on the hydrogen's single electron, forming a positive end where the Hydrogen atom is, and a negative charge where the Chlorine is. This is because the Chlorine pulls much harder on the electron than Hydrogen does.
Yes, H and Cl can form a polar covalent bond. Hydrogen is less electronegative than chlorine, so the bond will have a partial positive charge on the H atom and a partial negative charge on the Cl atom. This results in a polar covalent bond.
Chlorine is a big atom so its electron density is low and thus its electronegativity though being equal to oxygen is not able to form H-bond
Size of Cl atom is bigger than size of N atom. Electronegativity difference is .12 which is negligible.
The number of what is the most important in determining how an atom will bond
Potassium donates its electron in the outermost shell to the chlorine atom in order to form the ionic bond.

O, being most electronegative acquires the most negative charge in a covalent bond with hydrogen
As fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen do, the bond polarity in a -H-Cl bond is not adequate to form hydrogen bonds.

Hydrogen chloride is composed of diatomic molecules, each consisting of a hydrogenatom H and a chlorine atom Cl connected by a covalent single bond.
The number of what is the most important in determining how an atom will bond
No. this is an example of ionic bond, not hydrogen bond
Size of Cl atom is bigger than size of N atom.Electronegativity difference is .12 which is negligible.

According to the definition, to form a hydrogen bond, a bond with hydrogen and another element should have a higher value for electronegativity such as H-N, H-O and H-F. H-Cl does not meet with sufficient polarity to form a hydrogen bond.
Cl and F form ionic bond when they combine with metals and form covalent bond when combined with non-metals.
