I-864P, Poverty Guidelines 2008 are these gross income ? And one other question the household size does that include the the one you want to sponsor?

I 134 is what you file with the affidavit of support at interview stage. I 864 comes at AOS.

And yes, it is your gross income.

ooops..sorry, yes... including your fiance

Beware that for self-employed people I think they look at net income (after business deductions, Sched. C) and not gross. Read that here: http://www.ilw.com/articles/2006,1128-wheeler.shtm

The I-134 really has no standards. Most Consulates use the guidelines set by the I-864 because you will need to file for it at adjustment. Certain Consulates (including NZ) actually care very little about meeting any limits....some Consulates go overboard with it when legally they really have no recourse to do so. The standards are really meant for AOS.
