Kings and queens had no role in building the Eiffel tower. The last French king was ousted by the 1848 revolution. The decision to build a landmark 300 meters iron tower was taken in the mid 1880s.

Depends on what you feel is worthwhile. If you can afford it, and you like museums and the view, and like to learn about different people and cultures, and want to see the Eiffel tower, or think that the sound of the French language is cool, or think that it is a romantic place... then it probably is. If you can't afford it or those things don't matter to you, then probably not. If it were free, I would definitely go... guess we all have to decide whether the cost of going is worth the experience.

Did France colonize any other country?
France colonized a large number of countries. By far, the continent with the most former French colonies is Africa, with around 15-20 independent states that were former French colonies. Some other former French colonies include: parts of Canada (Quebec, etc.), parts of the United States (Louisiana Territory, etc.), Haiti, Indochina (currently Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia), Lebanon, and Syria. France also had empires across Europe, but did not properly colonize the countries in its European empires. Additionally France still maintains overseas territories like French Guiana in South America, Guadeloupe and Martinique in North America, and Mayotte and Reunion in Africa.
No officially recognised country today does claim metropolitan France. The British Royalty has had claims on the French throne and kingdom from 1337 up to 1815 and the heirs were crowned as both kings and queens of England and France.
There are separatists movements that claim some parts of France, as well as conflicts over France's possessions abroad, but no country does claim France, and France does not claim "countries" either.
Is France a small or a big country?
Asking such a question implies a comparative. It is big compared to some countries and small compared to others.
