A God like the one in the Bible works within the fixed laws he established and will not go against them, because, as God, that is simply who he is and what he does. In the same way logic did not come into being and will never change, so is God. In a way, we think like God does because we have the ability to see logic or justice in his actions. If something is truly moral (a decision most of us can all agree on), then it comes within God's standards for morality.
The word 'kill' as used in the Ten Commandments refers to premeditated murder. It does not include capital punishment, war, or self-defense.
The killing of most children in the OT is an act of punishment on their parents, and not on them.
