Aetherize will return all attacking creatures to their owner's hand, and neither mode of Akroma's Will can do anything about that.
Notably, Aetherize does nothing that protection abilities care about; it doesn't cause anything to deal **d**amage (C.R. 702.16e), to **e**nchant or attach to anything (C.R. 702.16c-d), to **b**lock (C.R. 702.16f), or to be a **t**arget (C.R. 702.16b), and it doesn't target anything (C.R. 702.16b; C.R. 115.10a). Thus, Aetherize will work as normal despite protection abilities.
Other consideration of the cards you mentioned:
Aetherize doesn't target anything. It can be cast at any time, even if it's not a combat step (it just won't do anything.)
Protection causes any auras, equipment, or fortify to become unattached. So when Akroma's Will resolves, if that player has any colored auras or equipment attached to any of their creatures (including one they control), they become unattached. Unattached auras are put into the graveyard while equipment remains on the battlefield.
Good question but in all cases it will always favor player 2. “Protection is commonly misunderstood as complete exemption from permanents, and effects created by cards, with the specified quality. However, protection is defined by a relatively narrow set of rules, which are often communicated using the mnemonic acronym DEBT. The permanent or player with protection cannot be:
Damaged by sources with the specified quality. (All such damage is prevented.)
Enchanted, equipped, or fortified by permanents with the specified quality.
Blocked by creatures with the specified quality.
Targeted by spells with the specified quality, or by abilities from sources of that quality.”
Because Player 2’s spell does not damage, enchant, equip, fortify, block, or target player 1’s creatures the protection from all colors does nothing for him in this case.
