Castling involves both rook and King moving to their respective squares whether it be a King-side castle or queen-side castle . When castling , the king moves two squares towards the rook , and the rook moves over the king to the next square , i.e. , black's king on e8 and rook on a8 move to : king c8, rook d8 (Long Castling) , white's king on e1 and rook on h1 move to : king g1, rook f1 (Short castling) ~ look to the related link below for additional information regarding castling .

Yes, if the rook is attacked, you can still castle. You just can't castle if the rook is either in check, or would be castling through check.
