If Jaime had found Arya before Ned Stark’s men, and either killed or severely wounded her, would his status as a kingsguard knight (doing the Queen’s bidding) or as Warden of the East (passing judgment on someone who assaulted a prince) have insulated him from Ned Stark’s ability to seek justice legally?

No and no. Ned’s the Hand, he outranks the Queen, and Wardens are purely military titles with no judicial authority whatsoever. 

If anything, Jaime’s Kingsguard status works against him – he’s not supposed to kill the Hand of the King’s children.
