can you force a player to make a stale mate if your playing 'touch move' and he touches the piece?

You can force him to move the piece. It's still up to him to choose any legal move with it.

I thought there would be another fool's mate. (queen f3- bishop c4) for white.

I think you got a little mixed up between one and won

I play chess on a computer program called 'WorldChessNetwork' and in the program it does now allow the king to capture a queen once put into check be said queen even if capturing the queen is the only way to get out of check, is this a real rule or a flaw of the program?

You haven't described the situation clearly enough to tell. The rule in Chess is that a King may not move into check. If a King is able to move out of check by capturing the enemy Queen, then it should be able to do so.
