Technically the PDD only stops projectile attacks and not ranged attacks. So even though it is considered ranged it is no longer a projectile.
Guardian Shield affects ranged attacks but not "splash" attacks so it should still work in this case.

No, the PDD needs to be able to hit a projectile with it's projectile. A stalkers attack will likely not be intercepted from Melee range either. Reason being, the projectile makes contact with the target before the PDD's projectile can intercept it.
I have not tested this, but that would be my interpretation. Try putting a PDD right on top of the meleeing Hydralisk... maybe.
I think this is a tiny balance issue at best. The fact is, you need very minor micro to avoid Hydralisks meleeing.
