Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Is threatening to kill someone, threaten to cause severe bodily harm, and/or threaten to ruin their career/life with slander illegal? Is the legality of these things influenced by a restraining order(current/active) (was put in place by the courts after an assault/battery took place)?
