I'll take this.

When you choose something, e.g. when you buy your clothes at a clothes store, you say "I'll take this." By the way, under such a circumstance, can I say "I'm going to take this" instead of "I'll take this"?

Say it if you want to. I think the other expression is more common. In many stores, of course, you just go to the counter and pay without the need to say anything except 'Thank you'.

If I'm dealing with a salesperson (a rare occurrence here), and he or she has been showing me different possibilities, when I decide, I gesture toward the one I've chosen and say, "I'll take this one". "going to" doesn't sound right to me. It's not immediate enough; it's like I'm going to come back in a day or two and take it.
