Yes, the king can capture its attacker as long as the the attacking piece is adjacent to the king and if the king can move to the space where the attacker is without putting himself in check from some other piece of the opponent.

Technically, mate is the capture of the king, but the piece cannot be taken and removed from the board in the same way as any other piece can.

so tecnically you can never kill eat nor take the king of the board

No. the king may only move one space at a time (aside from castling). This being the case, a king may not move into a check position, so could not be placed in a position to be taken by another king.

Yes. Only if the queen moved near the king unguarded.

Absolutely. The King or any other piece for that matter may move regardless of the fact that the Queen has been captured as long as the move is a legal move.
