A spacecraft the size of Apollo 11's lunar module, composed of antimatter, around a normal star

After writing this question, I came up with a new question.
Consideration
- The considerations are mostly similar to the linked question (reading it is highly encouraged, as I am trying to post as little redundancy as possible)
- The ship in question is comparable to Apollo 11 lunar module
- The distance from the star is roughly the distance between Earth and the Sun
The Questions
- How long would an antimatter ship (not powered by antimatter, but composed of antimatter) survive with exposure to stellar winds?
- How much energy is released during the exposure?
- How long could the crew (consider human-like physiology and radiation resistance) survive the radiation before dying?
- Related to number 2, would the radiation affect the planet or life on that planet in a way that's not negligible in effect? Consider the minimum unshielded distance from the planet's center to be around 1.2 times the radius of Earth, and away toward the moon.
