If there's a full house/straight of any kind on the table does the person with the highest card in their hand win?
AND
If everyone is using a pair on the table with the high card being King which is also on the table, is it a split?

1) No, not always
2) No, not always

a) If the straight on the table is the highest that anyone can make, then it is split between everyone since nooone can better it.
b) If everyone is making the same pair then i believe that the K cancells out all there kickers so it is split.
The previous post has given me doubt over this though...

Straights were dealt with above so..........
1a. Let's say the board is A A A 8 8
If someone holds the A then they can make quad Aces and win the hand.
1b. Let's say the board is A A 8 8 8
If someone holds either the A or A then they can make a higher full house or if someone is holding 8 they can make quad 8s to win.
2. If I am reading this right, the board is something like J J K 6 7
If no-one is holding a King, 2 or 3 (we can ignore pocket pairs since the question says that everyone is using the pair on the board only) in their hand giving them two pair, anyone holding an Ace will win it as they have JJAK7 while the board shows JJK76 which is lower.
The pot is still unlikely to be split as anyone holding a card higher than a 7 will win the pot - T2 vs 54 is a win for T2 as he has JJKT7 while 54 has JJK76. The only way it can be split is if the players in the hand all have cards lower than the 6 on the board which is very unlikely. In my example I used 6 and 7 as the extra cards, if they were higher it could bring in the possibility of straights to win the pot and of course if there were 3 of one suit on the board there will be flushes possible to win the pot.
Question 2 is WAY too vague to be a black or white answer - all you have to remember is that you use the best 5 cards of the 7 available to each player to determine their best hand and then compare it to everyone else's best 5 card hand

Full house on the table means it's a split pot unless someone can make a better hand than what is on the table (e.g. has a four-of-a-kind or better fullhouse).

Each person is entitled to play the best FIVE cards. If nobody can make a better hand then what is on the board then the pot is split among the players that remained in to the end.
If everyone is using a pair on the table with the high card being King which is also on the table, is it a
Same rule as above. Each player is entitled to use their best FIVE cards. If the remaining players can not beat the pair on the board and the K on the board is the highest kicker then the person with the next highest kicker wins. The only time this pot would be split is if the three kicker cards on the board are higher then all the cards in the remaining players hands.

This is exactly what happened with a pretty famous hand that Scotty Nguyen was in. I don't remember the exact cards but I think that the board was showing something like 777JJ. Scotty, who had a jack, raised all in and said, "You call it's gonna be all over, Baby." His opponent said, "I'll play the board--I call." And whammo. Scotty had the better full house. JJJ77 vs 777JJ.

I'm pretty sure the board had 3 8s and 2 9s. Scotty held a 9.

That's correct. And then Scotty lost all the money the next day at the craps table. 
Just remember that it's always the best FIVE card hand that wins.
