You could just kill the guard by leaving them in the bag
I would immediately shift your alignment to chaotic evil for it because you’re literally making them suffocate to death over a period of about ten minutes, but it’s still RAW.
Except if the guard manages to rip a hole in the bag from the inside, they can destroy the bag and everything inside it will get scattered across the Astral Plane. Pretty bad for the guard, but better than a slow death being suffocated. Plus you don’t need to eat or breathe on the Astral, so they could live there indefinitely.
Not if they have a blade. Sticking anything sharp inside the bag tears it.
Also, I would much rather suffocate over 10 minutes(which would suck horribly) than live out the rest of my natural life floating alone in the astral plane.
And that’s only if they recognize what’s going on. If you’re just minding your business and suddenly it’s dark and hard to breathe, there are a bunch of monsters, spells, and magical phenomena that are possible culprits.

Tearing the bag from the inside seems like an easier said than done proposition.

I’m still going to wildly swing my scimitar in the dark
