Say 'Dosadno mi je'. Don't say 'Ja sam dosadan' (that means 'I am a boring person').

There isn't a direct idiom, but 'uživati u svakom trenutku' (enjoying every moment) is the opposite state.

No, you can't 'kill a person's boredom' directly with this phrase in that way. You'd say 'Zabavljam ga' (I am entertaining him).

You can 'ubiti tugu' (kill sadness), but it's much more poetic and less common than 'ubiti dosadu'.

Young people might say 'ubijam smor'.
