That's really hot, hope no engine damage occured.
Sure is and Guardian is activating to stop the abusive overspeed throttle input in neutral. You should never apply throttle above idle when in neutral.
Since I have a level 2 Mercmonitor I'm not well versed with VV, but there should be a settings menu of some kind, make sure coolant temp is set to on or selected.

Screen is probably clogged with bits of liner, if you've never replaced the pulse pump, now would be a good time to do so.
One commonality among the many recent posts on this also includes a deck fill.
Could be the neutral safety switch in the shifter. Next time it happens try jiggling the shifter handle fore and aft a little, if you can get it to start that way replace the switch.
