Re no guards, I'm guessing it's a combination of

  • Ser Criston Cole putting guards in strategic locations to ensure he isn't caught.

  • Larys Strong eliminating a handful of hand maids (and similar folk), replaced with his own. These new folks might not have the family in mind.

  • Kingsguard hanging out with King Aegon.

  • Overall not expecting an attack like this. Kings Landing is confident if attacked it will be via dragon.

These are all great possibilities. And each come with their own repercussions.

Yeah, this is exactly why. It just wasn't explicitly spelled out in the episode.
