Can anti-matter protons annihilate with matter protons or is it only matter and anti-matter quarks that can annihilate?

Yes, anti-protons and protons annihilate.

What about matter quarks and anti-matter quarks, do they annihilate?

There are particles called quarks.

Yes and there are antiquarks. An antiproton is composed of 3 antiquarks, for instance. So whether you consider hadrons or the quarks that make them up, it comes to the same thing: they can annihilate with the appropriate antiparticle.
