No, it won't.
Everything that you just mentioned, at best, protects the server environment from Wordpress vulnerabilities -- and that's assuming that a novice could set up a dedicated server as tightly as good hosting companies set up shared hosts.
None of your recommendations do anything to make Wordpress itself any safer, and if the Wordpress db gets compromised (which happened recently to a lot of folks), then you still don't have much of a site left.
