1. Can opponent discard a EC from hand to satisfy cost on King Manny?

2.King Amazing attacks chooses King that captures him and opponent puts Isaiah into battle protecting all purple kings. Does King Amazing come back to battle?

1. No.  His ability does not specify location, and discard defaults to play.

2. No.  Protection cannot undo previous effects, that would be interrupt or negate.  If protection was not in place when the capture occurred, it cannot stop the effect.

In this case (unlike the more generic, non-call version of the question), Jehoash is negated due to Call.  Therefore, the capture is negated, which puts King Amazing back in battle.  Because of cascade-negate, Isaiah is kicked out of battle (King Amazing's 'add hero' clause is cascade-negated by Call via Jehoash's capture being undone).  However, cards are unable to cascade-negate themselves (see FTBN-ending bands for similar rulings).  Therefore, Call is not negated (note that it was not CBN unless played by Isaiah in battle).  Also, since Isaiah is CBN, he is not cascade-negated, and his protection stands.  Battle resumes with King Amazing and protected purple kings versus a negated Jehoash.  Call is no longer negating anything going forward as well, since Isaiah is not in battle.

So option b, with a twist.

EDIT: Just merged the threads, since you are pretty clearly each asking about the same game.
