these seem straight forward to me but came into question  from my opponent so i thought id check them out for clarification.

can a downed guard use his guard ability to become injured and removed from play?

can a player who can give the ball to another player when tackled (i forget the ability name) give the ball to a downed player?

it seems an obvious NO to me, well the guard one does anyway, but any clarification would be great. thank you

No, downed players lose all abilities and skills. From Pg 11, Player States (Downed).  Downed players lose all abilities and remaining skills, but retain any assigned cheating tokens already placed on them.

The skill is Dump Off - and yes, you can Dump Off to a downed player. A player has to drop the ball at the moment he's downed (unless he has Sure Hands) but there's nothing in the rules that stops a downed player from getting the ball via Dump Off (or because the ball carrier gets moved to a different match up via Throw Team Mate or Sewer Go Map, etc).
