I think "most unique" works here, perhaps because I can read "most" as emphasizing the importance of the uniqueness rather than modifying its degree.

Pedantry is attention to compliance with usage "rules" rather than the success of the expression.

Not a native speaker here, but that's probably not unlike "the very last", even though being last in and of itself is not gradable :)

Yes.

Your English is far, far better than my command of whatever your native tongue is.
