With first edition rules, when someone rolls a claw to enter an empty Tokyo - does that count as an attack for the purposes of "Gain 1 Victory Point when you attack" and/or "If you attack Tokyo, deal 1 damage to all other Monsters not in Tokyo"? Can you attack if there's nobody to attack?

Attack/Attacking Monster:
A monster is considered attacking when it has at least one (claw), otherwise it is not attacking.
...
If an attack somehow ends up doing no damage then it is no longer considered an attack for the purposes of cards like Poison Spit and Herbivore.

So, technically you are attacking an empty Tokyo, but not an attack for card effects. As you are 'attacking' you are still forced into Tokyo though, again per the rules.
