There has been no mention of a guard hence we cannot assume that there will be a guard in the first place let alone him stopping the salespersons. According to me only assumption I is implicit.

Assumption ii is implicit for assuming sales people might try to enter the society (and security guard may stop them). So how is assumption I implicit as well for assuming that all sales people will stay away?

There are two scenarios to the above question:
1) After Reading the Board, all the walkin salesman will be stay away.
2) Society Guard will be able to send back the walkin salesman who in any case try to get into the society.
But what about those salesman who have come with an appointment. The sentence no where mentions in particular the kind of salesman.

I think being a salesman, the person will not stay away from the society definitely he will try to enter. So the watchman should send him away. Please clarify!
