Simply saying ‘Give me advice’ in English would not be rude, but it would certainly sound rather abrupt… "Would you give me some advice about…[your question/topic]’ sounds much better.

I would also have to say that to ask for a ‘piece of advice’ would be a very unusual and non-standard way of making the request.
