Might not this be considered an act of war against Denmark, a NATO country? In such a case other NATO countries, including potentially usefully Turkey, would be required to come to the Danish defense. Depending on how the Syrian government acted during and after the attack the point could at least be argued. If we were looking for an excuse to attack Syria here is one. Of course if we ignore this one the Syrians will likely provide similar good excuses in the future.

I think yes. An embassy is considered to be on the soil of the country it represents. So an attack on a Danish embassy would be no different than an attack on downtown Copenhagen.
