I have another question about one simple rule. Card says "Target ally can't attack or exhaust this turn." It also means that target ally can't protect?

Hey there!

You are correct! in order to protect, the protector has to be able to exhaust. The specific rule is as follows;

(From the Comprehensive Rules v. 7.4)
602.2 / As an attack window closes, if there is no attacker and/or no proposed defender, the combat concludes. Otherwise, any player opposed to the attacker may exhaust a character he controls that can protect the proposed defender against the attacker. This is called the Protect Point. This doesn't use the chain and is the only time a character can protect. If that happens, the proposed defender is removed from combat, and that exhausted character becomes the proposed defender and starts protecting.
