You can attack if it seems necessary, but I suggest using a Poke-Body if possible to keep defending better against all of the other Pokémon. If you can defeat the defending Pokémon in one swift blow, then I would attack and defeat it. So in conclusion, yes, you can.

yes you can but only once per turn and you cant attack on the first turn of the duel so if you go first you cant attack with it
The Pokemon that has the greater speed attacks first, but there are some moves that attack always first in the battle and some items that increase the chance of attacking first like the Quick Claw
you use a quick claw
the Pokemon on the left i think.
Defeat the first Gym Leader.The Gym Leader is going to give you the Rock Smash attack. Teach a Pokemon the attack. Then you can break cracked rocks.
