And I think I know the answer to this one - but will pose it anyways (historical record for the forum) - would anyone buy a Boxster if they knew it was in an accident. Like minor bodywork to the rear quarter panel and suspension?
No frame or front end damage?

CFax can even miss a salvage title. As a former dealer, I always ran a CF or Autocheck. However, I NEVER relied on either for hidden damage.
For that, you have to get the car in the air and you have to use a paint meter.
Both are required.
Now, as to your second question, the Box is a unibody and it is NOT that easy to spot or differentiate frame vs no-frame involvement. MY rule was that if I found new paint, I did not buy the car.
Simple and safe.
