Is this knight “hanging”

After Bx pawn, if rook captures, then Bishop can fork the rook and king. Obviously this is a made up example, but within the chess community, is a piece “hanging” if it can be saved one move later?

Best approach for pawn fences?

I’ve found myself in this position a few times and am never really sure the best approach. The engine basically wants me to throw my knights at the points of the fence and let them go. Is that really the best approach? (There may be a more formal term for this, but I don’t know it.)
