1. because white can’t really move the queen anymore without losing the rook 2. white would just take the f2 pawn with the king and mate black

1. Black just plays exf2+ (free knight with check first) and then Nb8 blocks the pin and white is out of moves. 2. If Qa6+ then Kxf2 is alright because black no longer has a check on that diagonal and white is still threatening mate.
