"All Guardian modules", does that mean anti-Guardian protection can now be applied to interior modules such as the Guardian FSD Booster, not just weapons?

The answer to this is "Yes" :)

Update 18.07 is now available! Servers are coming back online, please allow time for all of them to come back online as some of them were up too late trying to get the high score on Bubble Bobble.

I've tested it, and Guardian Fighters are still damaged by the Anti-Guardian Field. Any chance he could shield them, as well?

The Ram Tah breakthrough helps protect modules against damage. The fighters are ships, not modules, so the protection does not apply.
