My redcap dies and then returns with persist. Will the 1/1 goblin token take priority over the redcap when Anafenza bolster ability happens? Or can I still give the bolster counter to the redcap?
Other option, I have global lifelink thanks to whip of erebos and the angel out. If I kill the redcap, will it come back in time to get a +1/+1 counter? Or is it too late?

Both the Redcap and the token are 1/1 as the bolster ability resolves, so you can choose the Redcap, which will end up removing his -1/-1 counter.

He enters the battlefield, his enter-the-battlefield ability goes on the stack, and then when it resolves, Redcap deals 1 damage and you gain 1 life, Archangel's ability triggers, and then when it resolves, Redcap is there to get a counter (once again removing his -1/-1 counter in turn). He wasn't late for that, quite the contrary!
I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.
