So if I play Assure\Assemble using the Assembly part and then have Vanquisher's Banner already in play am I able to draw 3 cards from it's static ability?
For Conclave Guildmage If I activate it's 2nd ability and tap it to create a token, can that token be countered?

No: Assemble is not a creature spell, it is an Instant.
Compare the two cards - Assemble and Conclave Guildmage - halfway down the card, on the Guildmage, is the word "Creature" - that's what defines the card as being a Creature Spell, and only spells with the word Creature can trigger the Banner.

Not by Counterspell, because you are using an ability, not casting a spell.
But it can be countered by a spell, or ability, which counters an activated ability - such as Voidslime

Yes. Tokens do enter the battlefield and they can leave it as well. Any ability looking for creatures to enter or leave the battlefield will see token creatures doing so.
Note, that token creatures are not the only possible tokens. There are clues and treasure tokens, which are artifact tokens, for example.
