as long as you feel that threat is imminent- and it's something a 'reasonable person' would agree with under the totality of circumstances- you're free to take them at their word and use reasonable force to prevent it.

Keep in mind, reasonable force might include running away. But if some one corners you, and says they'll fuck you up, you don't have to assume they're full of shit.

Depends on the state. If you're in a Stand Your Ground state, there's no duty to flee. If you aren't, then you probably have a duty to flee an attacker if possible, unless this is at your house, they have entered your home illegally and refuse to leave.
