While I'm not the knight marshal, I am an inspecting and authorizing marshal, so I'll take a stab at answering this.
1. No. The combination of a half gauntlet plus a basket hilt provides the covering required.
2. The way I read this, yes, a half gauntlet in combination with a shield basket will be required. Full gauntlet needed only if the shield has no basket over the handle.

This poses two questions from me for our knight marshal.
1) by "Only the palm and grip surface of the fingers should be unarmored." does this mean the society is requirinf full guantles?
2) does this mean we are now required to wear half / full gauntlets on shield arms as well?

The Society Marshal ruled that the whole wrist (360 degrees) must be
“reasonably" covered in all combat evolutions. Only the palm and grip
surface of the fingers should be unarmored. The Board upheld this ruling.
The Society Marshal ruled that finger gauntlets, provided they are
constructed correctly - i.e., full coverage and plates designed not to
shear fingers – are legal for SCA use. The Board ruled that this matter
falls within the authority of the Marshallate, and no Board action is
required
