Good article, but the author fails to mention an important note regarding the mate with 2 knights and a bishop. If the king were to take the bishop in the example provided, the count would indeed start at 0, but it would be impossible for white to mate with the 2 knights alone. The author states that white would have another chance at mate, but given the position, he would not after his bishop is captured. A minor distinction, but an important one.
Depends on what you meant by your quesiton.

If you meant <em>Can a pawn, going backwards, take another piece</em>, the answer is no, a pawn can never move backwards.

If you meant <em>Can a pawn, going forward, take another piece that just moved backwards</em>, the answer is yes, a pawn can always take a piece which is on one of the squares immediately diagonally forward of the pawn.
