Indeed he can but there are some common sense restrictions:
The king cannot capture the opposing king because they may never be on adjacent squares to one anoher (both would be in check if so).
The king can only capture undefended pawns and pieces on a square diagonally or othogonally adjacent to his own square.
The king cannot capture a knight that gives check, as by definition such a knight is not on an adjacent square to the king. It can move next to it however and threaten to capture it next move.
And obviously a king may not make an en passant capture and may not capture as part of castling.

Yes, the King can capture any piece except the opposing King, so long as by doing so it does not move into check, which is an illegal move.

yes, the king may capture any piece or pawn that is located on a square next to him as long as it does not put the king into check

Yes. It must of course be a legal move for the king.
