Take for

Hi

I have two questions:

1.Does 'I took you for french' mean 'I thought you were french' ?

2. "He took me for all I had."
It means "to obtain money from especially fraudulently" according to Merriam Webster.

My question is, how else can I use this phrase. For example, how can I say "he stole $5 from me" by using the phrase above?

Thanks!
