Was there something hard about that which I missed?

Re: diagram these ;-)
When you chose any as the subject in #2, what motivated you to do so?

Re: diagram these ;-)
It is a pronoun -- an indefinite pronoun. Those are often missed because people only think of the personal pronouns.

Re: diagram these ;-)
Is "det." short for "determiner"? I think that is a British, not American, term.
Anyway, "any" can be an adjective or .a pronoun, and as a pronoun can combine with "-body" or "-one" or "-body else" etc.
At least this is true, using the terms I know.

Has any of you seen her?

"Has any of you seen her?"
The above is grammatically incorrect -- lack of agreement in number.
In any case, I , for one, have not seen her -- that I know of.
