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.

Yes.

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