1. You are right, except that I would put it slightly differently. I
would say that corresponding to ANIY, 'I', there used to be a variant
ATIY, that is preserved only as in attachment.
2. Now the question naturally arises as to what is the meaning of the
"suffix" -AH in SHAMR-AH, 'she has guarded', and the "suffix" -U in
SHAMR-U, 'they have guarded'?
3. I forgot to mention another word with root CB, namely, ECBA
אצבע 'finger'.

You are right, except that what is "transparent" with "suffixation"
is also transparent with "prefixation" and "infixation".

No.

BTW, is the "suffix" -TI of SHAMARTI, 'I have guarded', also
"transparent"?

It's not absurd to think that it can be analyzed as -t- plus -iY,
from an-iY "I"
