In this setting: Time required between posts from the same IP, does this apply only to logged in users or guests too?

Referring to this: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=377031.0 it is IP-based so it should apply to guests too.

Do you allow guests to post?

For the record, it is solely based on IP address in SMF 1.1.x.

Isn't it a bit obvious if he is asking about a function regarding it? And yes, he allows replies, just tested.

Isn't it the same thing I already said in the first place? :/

There are workarounds though, if they post with a proxy and change it they can quickly bypass this block but you can't help it very much I think

Not exactly. You were speculating on how the flood control worked; I went and checked how the code actually behaves.
