It gives enough access that if someone found a backdoor they could maybe write a virus to your bios. This is rare and a lot (probably all modern ones) of mobos will block this. Although the way they do it is also hackable, MSI had some security keys stolen which might make this possible for older bios versions.Typically the purpose of this is to reinfect your drove after you wipe it, but it could be used to infect other partitions/disks in the system.
Again this probably isn't possible on your computer. But vanguard has access to absolutely everything including any random chips that can have firmware on them which the OS can flash, and those are shared between partitions obviously. So the answer to your question is no probably not, but it's probably technically possible on some machines. But an attacker would need to find a vulnerability in vanguard first.

No, valorant doesn't. Neither does league, and I fully support you refusing to allow kernel level anti-cheat run on your PC. Fuck riot, and fuck CCP.
