If Aegislash uses its "Hard Bashing" attack against an Espathra with "Stance" that evolved last turn, will I damage it or not?

Stance
Once during your turn (before your attack), when you put Lucario LV.X from your hand onto your Active Lucario, you may use this power. Prevent all effects of an attack, including damage, done to Lucario during your opponent's next turn. (If Lucario is no longer your Active Pokémon, this effect ends.)
Attacks
Close CombatDuring your opponent's next turn, any damage done to Lucario by attacks is increased by 30 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).
Put this card onto your Active Lucario. Lucario LV.X can use any attack, Poké-Power, or Poké-Body from its previous level.

If my opponent attacked with Magby's "Scorching Heater" attack last turn and I evolve into Espathra with "Stance" Ability this turn, will my Espathra receive the 6 damage counters from "Scorching Heater" if it attacks and does damage to Magby?
No, it will not receive the 6 damage counters. Stance prevents all effects of your opponent's attacks, and Scorching Heater's damage counters are an effect of your opponent's attack.

If my Espathra with the activated "Stance" Ability protection is moved to or from my Bench during my opponent's turn by a switching action such as Boss's Orders is it no longer protected?
It is still protected. It is an effect from an Ability, not from an attack, and so is not removed by moving to or from the bench.
Stance
If my Active Pokemon evolves into Lucario and uses its "Stance" Ability, does its effect get cleared if it moves to the Bench?
No, its effect remains.
