Could someone accidentally swallow a "boil & fit" teeth grinding mouth guard?

I do not believe so: Anything that covers all of your teeth would be too big to swallow.

I doubt it: If you are talking about the ones that cover your entire upper arch, then that's pretty impossible. However, there are some versions out there that are very small and only cover a few teeth. That, while remote, could be a possibility...But still pretty uncommon.

Unlikely: They are too big to swallow. But they should fit well and not come loose. Maybe your dentist can evaluate the fit.

No: The whole-arch boil & fit appliance is to large to be swallowed. It's also nowhere near as effective as a custom made appliance. Ask your Dentist for customized personalized help. This isn't a DIY project...you get what you pay for.
