It's possible, but I think unlikely. Qarr (note spelling -- there's no U in his name) probably has more things to do in upcoming strips. But there's also the line of effect rules that may come into play. You do not have to hear the Holy Word to be banished by it, but you probably have to be in the line of effect of the spell. In an actual game, that would be the DM's call.

Malack may also have been affected by the Holy Word, but that remains to be seen since the Giant seems to want us to keep guessing at his alignment. When the reveal finally comes, its going to be amazing.
Malack may not be Evil, but he's definitely not Good. So he'd be subject to the Holy Word if he could actually hear it. Unlikely that he can on the other side of that door. And even if he could, there's also the level effect. He could be the same level as Tarquin, so it wouldn't damage him at all.
