Don't worry about anything exclusive to Aegislash too much, Spirit. Aegislash is a rather...special pokemon we probably will only see an important NPC towards the end of the campaign's climax/story using.
In thecase of No Guard, it's a pretty simple Ability. Say we have a No Guard Machamp with Dynamic Punch. You did indeed interpret the Ability correctly. If Machamp doesn't use any Evade actions in a Round, its moves have no innate accuracy penalties. Which means for Dynamic Punch, it just rolls Dex + Fight + Brawl for accuracy, ignoring the -5 (but not ignoring Pain). In Honedge's case, it doesn't have any wildly powerful moves that benefit from the Ability, but it does have Metal Claw and Fury Cutter.
As for King's Shield not being in Aegislash's movepool...that's just an error on the writers' part, I imagine. It's not the first one, either. *stares at Fire Lash and Heatmor in the 1.2 book*
On top of that, it might be better to worry about this when it's more relevant. There's no guarantees you'll find a Honedge at this time. It is one of the rarest pokemon in Creshire, after all.
