The card states that when you miss you MUST take a stress token IF you aren't already stressed. So if you have no stress you receive one, if you have one then you don't.

THEN the next clause kicks in regardless of how the first clause played out. You acquire the target lock and the focus. This isn't predecated on you receiving a stress or not or it would probably say something to the degree of "if you received a stress in this fashion, then etc. etc." So yes, if the ship Bossk is a crew member on is stressed then his crew ability still takes place.
