The usage of offend/offense
Does "No offense is taken." mean "I'm not offended?"
Don't take offense.=Don't be offended.
Is it correct?
It would be great if you can give me more examples of offense/offend/offensive.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, your examples are both good. Some others: “He made a very offensive comment about her.” “Her conduct offended her parents’ sense of propriety.” “He is a repeat offender” (meaning, he has committed actual crimes — criminal “offenses” — multiples times). “I’m sorry if I offended you.”

No offense does mean that you're not offended.
I'm not sure if "Don't take offense" sounds natural to me but I would say "Don't get offended" or "I hope you didn't get offended".
