Read the card: "as a target of an attack".

So you don't prevent actions during the activation phase, and you don't prevent target lock actions. That is, unless said actions are performed AFTER the attack, which some pilot abilities enable you to do (Turr Phenirr comes to mind). In that case, you prevent them from performing them as you can't perform free actions while stressed.

Furthermore about target locks, you would only prevent anything that is worded as "performing a (free) target lock action". You can't prevent Colonel Vessery from renewing his target lock by stressing him, as "acquiring a target lock" and "performing a (free) target lock actions" aren't exactly the same thing. Same logic on wording between "performing a focus/evasion action" and "assigning a focus/evasion token".
