If you're talking about guests of honor in general, it definitely should be lowercase. However, as in your example, if you are talking about a specific guest of honor on a specific occasion, it could count as what Wikipedia calls a specific designator, so grammatically either way should be acceptable. However, looking at Ngrams to determine usage, it generally seems not to be capitalized.
No.
Particularly if it's following a comma because you're not indicating the end of a sentence. If the equation ends in a full point, yes capitalise it.

The Chicago Manual of Style says not to capitalize a title when it appears alone like that. Nor should you cap it when it appears in apposition, such as (if your candidate gets the job),
You cap formal titles when they appear before someone's name,
though not every title is meant to be used in that way... for instance, if you were talking about Steven Spielberg, in most contexts you would say
because in most contexts you wouldn't be ascribing a formal title to him, but merely describing what he does.
