Did the emperor have a guard composed of the best Samurai?

Ehh no it didn’t really work like that. Samurai were more like feudal lords and less like knights. Hell a lot of times Samurai were actively fighting against the emperor. I’m sure sometimes some of them protected the emperor

This. Also, the emperor was largely ceremonial. The real power was the Daimyo, the most powerful warlord.
Samurai was like a lord.
Shogun was a warlord with many samurai.
Daimyo was top shogun.

It was much like early feudal europe with small kingdoms constantly at war jockying over territory.
