^Yes, many people seem to put off reaction time in fights, but being faster than your opponent is a HUGE advantage. Percy has bee seen to deflect BULLETS with his sword, so even if Hazel can sneak up on him, I doubt she will be able to land a sword swing. And even though Percy doesn't have as much experience with the mist as Hazel does, that doesn't really matter, as Hazel defeated Pasiphaë, a master of the Mist. To address your other points, Percy is fully capable of creating water swords and bloodbending, as all evidence leads to those conclusions.
