As long as your guava plant can get some sun most of the day, it can thrive. The plant I got from eBay allegedly matures at 10' in height. If you want it shorter, one option is, when it gets to your desired height, air-layer the surplus branches and get more plants. Or, just prune to limit it to your desired size.
It would certainly help if you had 2 plants for pollination, but I've had single guava plants that have fruited for me.
