Well the church was it's own "person" back then. They were able to choose high ranked officials and the King had to often agree with them. The church was a big thing in medieval times. They would help the king some days and hurt him on others. So, all in all, yes it was hard for the king to get control of the church!
This made religious gov't, like in medieval times when the church was in control
No, the Catholic Church did not really stifle medieval literature. There was a reason for this, which was that the literature during the middle ages was copied by hand or memorized, and the church could not really control individual writing literature easily prior to the invention of the printing press. The Catholic Church did stifle preaching, but that was a matter of something happening in public.

Medieval Inquisitions were instituted by the Catholic Church. They were responses to movements the Church viewed as heretical. Authority for the Medieval Inquisitions was held on a local level with guidelines from the Holy See. They were either classified as papal or episcopal inquisitions.

It was the other way around. The merchant was affected by the church. The Catholic Church had control over the whole society as well as the monarchy. It told people what to do and set rules for society. Science was disallowed and considered wrong.
Yes.
