As you attack, Anemos Major uses the ability 'Disregard Grammatical Errors', on Morlago's attack by Lyras. The effects of the attack, which would otherwise deal 9 damage to Falkasia, for the knockout, are ignored, and Falkasia remains on 7 defence points. Note, only the effects of the attack are ignored. Thus, Morlago's Lyras remains on 1 point of defence.

Might just draw a gamemaster's attention to this, to make sure all is kosher... before I continue...

In this circumstance, no. No points of damage are dealt. The card is simply removed from play. As a corollary, the title of the ability is 'masterful negotiations', a phrase which doesn't imply damage of any sort.

The ability used removes a card from play, but does not deal damage. IIRC, it also does not confer Influence, but I'll need to ask for a second opinion on that.
