About The World's time stop, any attacks can be reverted, even if Giorno's stopped. That's because GER is sentient like Star Platinum and it can revert that same attack that could even kill Giorno.

It could attack, but it will be reverted anyway.

Attacking in Time Stop is considered an action and it has willpower, so GER can just revert that. I think GER's trigger is not that absolute, as said before it only activated with Diavolo's punch that couldn't be done in skipped time. He threw blood over GER eyes, GER didn't even notice that. That should count as an attack yet there was no RtZ then, only at the very exact moment time was going to be normal again.

However, let's say Diavolo wouldn't attack but only threw his blood to blind Giorno, once the skip would be over the RtZ should activate (throwing blood to someone in the eyes is an attack). Same should happen with stopped time, if Giorno and GER survive it, they'll RtZ the attack.

Notice how GER acted, it stopped the punch to reach Giorno before it did so, so GER has to avoid lethal damage towards its user based on that and Epitaph's prediction. If GER can't act on stopped time he may die when time resummes.
