With Airport Extreeme that, accoring to tech support,has to have 'Connection Sharing' in Off Bridge mode because of my Verizon Fios modem/router, this effectively disables any Guest Network possibility. Is this correct?

Tech Support is correct.

If the FIOS router is functioning as the "main" router, the AirPort Extreme will need to be configured in bridge mode. Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode).

The Guest Network cannot be enabled when the AirPort Extreme is configured in bridge mode.
