if I have an ampharos sw on my bench, my opponent rare candy into bastiodon from his bench and then play a supporter, does bastiodon or his bench pokemon get hurt by ampharos pokepower?

Yes, they do. Bastiodon only prevents damage from attacks. Ampharos' Poke-Body is not an attack, and it's not doing damage (it's placing damage counters).

if I have an active bronzong, md and my opponent has a bench bastiodon, does bastiodon get hurt by bronzong's poke-body?

No. Bronzong says to "put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's Pokemon that has any Poke-Powers between turns." But Bastiodon doesn't have a Poke-Power, it has a Poke-Body. Bronzong doesn't affect it.
