Photons don't have a temperature, so the absolute zero question is irrelevant, or it makes no difference, depending on how you want to look at it.

And in the non-cooled situation, the absorption of the photons would warm the box and the box would radiate protons as approximately a black-body source. So photons would come out, but shifted to lower energy.
