I was thinking; If a piece is pinned to the king, can it give check? This seems obvious, but it wouldn't technically be check if the piece couldn't reach the enemy king, right? correct me if I'm wrong tho

Yes, pieces pinned to a king still attack squares they could normally move to if not pinned. A player can never make a move that exposes their king to check.
