Authenticated Users and Everyone are not the same, and the difference between them has nothing to do with the Guest account or Guests/Domain Guests groups. In Windows 2000 and earlier, Everyone includes Anonymous Logon. In Win2K3, the Anonymous Logon account was removed from the Everyone group. Mixed-mode domains (Win2K) and Windows 2000 mixed functional level domains (Win2K3) have nothing whatsoever to do with the membership of the Everyone group. Mixed mode/FL relating to groups is about whether or not you can create universal security groups and fully utilize domain local groups. Last, the built-in Guest account is part of both Authenticated Users *and* Everyone.
