Can I have my 229 anodized?  It has a lot of holster wear.  Would it have any adverse effect on the metalurgy or function?

Your P229 is already anodized. Explain yourself.

Easy killer...

12_gauge- I assume that you mean "re-anodized", do to wear, correct?

It's not really needed..what you could do is have it re-finished, leaving the anodizing underneath.

You could send off to any number of companies that do refinishing or do it your self with products like Duracoat-not my favorite-or my favorite, Norrell's moly resin.

Spray on finishes like Norrell's are easy to use. I use Norrell's all of the time to refinish.

There is Ion Bond, CerraCoat, hard chroming, Dura Coat, etc. Pick one and google.

Well, I thought it needed explaining.

How deeply is the anodizing on the frame worn? What kind of wear? Where?

I would contact CCR refinishing. The specialize in this kind of thing.
