For me abhoghta (your spelling might be also correct) means beyond the effect of actions. In one of the websites there is a dictionary, in it it is said: "non affected by action, Shiva".
The way I see it is that God needs to do specific tasks to accomplish his duty, to destroy hell and establish heaven, for that he has to accomplish certain tasks, he might take a fiersome form through an instrument, or he might do something that is reprehensible in the eyes of ordinary moral thinking, but because he is what he is, he is not affected because he does it for a selfless purpose.
It is similar for us in a way, that the actions we do, whichever they are, if they are done when we are soulconscious, then they generate good karma, if they are done in bodyconsciousness, then they generate bad karma.
So this bring us away from your first question. Arjun responded to it in a very clear way. ShivBaba gives us power, but is not affected by what he gives to whom. He also gives to the children who are not following Shrimat, and go against him, because the child who shows courage, Baba gives help.
