Can the word 'friends' be an adj. ?

Hello,

I'm confused by the following sentence.

A: 'Just because I'm friends with her doesn't make me any less friends with you'.

B: 'I don't know. I really hate her guts!'

First, the usage of 'friends' is where I don't get. What's this usage?

Second, what does guts mean here? Courage?

Thanks in advance!!
