Data for guest accounts are stored in the temporary folder, so they are lost on reboot.

If you are happy to have a password for the account, may I suggest you create a brand new account? Customise that account as you need.

To hide an application is a bit more tricky. Obviously, you can remove it from the guest account's menu, but a determined person could find it anyway. You can use sudoers to prevent that account from running the application, but -- again -- a determined person may well find it anyway.
