No, that legislation is restricted to restricted-access sites, i.e. tor onion services, or technially i2p as well (but nobody cares about that).
What they want to do is outlaw the running of markets who promote drugs, weapons and cheese pizza. Thats already the case. The just want it in one law so they don't have to process several accusations.
No, they want to make the 'silkroad' operators more easily targetable. At the moment you can operate a trading platform on an an onion site and claim to not know what is actually traded on that platfrom. This legislation feels like it is attempting to change that (probably in reaction to the platfrom that faciltated selling the waepon for the munich shooting).
As for the broadness of the text - basically unless you're an onion site that isn't as well-known as walmart, you might always find yourself to be considere to fall under this law.
It's not targeting tor node operators. Neither it is trying to make the tor project into a criminal organisation - it's the other way round trying to get at 'bad' onion site operators even if they are not part of a traditional 'organization', as in the internet time and gig economy there are les and less such.
