1. If i select a squad and assign them a dwarf, why wont they kill him and just hover around him?

2. How does kidnapping work in adventure mode?

[Buckermann]

There is no kidnapping. You probably me knapping.

I assume you mean select a squad and give them a kill order to kill a dwarf.

Is the dwarf one of yours?  You can't give orders to kill one of your own dwarves.

Otherwise, are you on the latest version?  There was a bug for a while where dwarves would refuse to kill any friendly creature.  This was fixed a few versions back.  Now they should kill any creature who isn't a member of your fortress.

In 31.12 this is not necessarily true. I recently had a dwarf go insane and I ordered my squad to take preemptive action before he could injure anyone. After issuing the order the 7 dwarf squad kitted up and promptly dismembered their former comrade. After looking through the soldiers thoughts I only saw they had the "... lost a friend to tragedy recently." and the "... took joy in slaughter lately." Apparently in the newer version dwarves will happily slaughter their comrades without too much consequence.

When a dwarf goes berserk, he is no longer one of yours.  He has become a hostile unit, and can be killed by your military.
