Can all of Pontiff's attacks be parried?

No, not all of Pontiff Sulyvahn's attacks are parryable, but most of his sword swings, especially with the flame sword, are, while his dark magic/phantom clone attacks usually require dodging.

Is Sekiro the hardest game ever?

While there's no single "hardest game ever," Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is widely considered one of the most challenging games, especially for newcomers to FromSoftware titles, due to its unforgiving, rhythm-based combat demanding precise deflection, unlike other Souls games where you can grind or summon help.
