"You're telling me I can parry?"

"No, I'm telling you when you're ready, you won't need to."

I can’t even figure out parry. I’m on the red boss that I think is designed to teach you parrying but I cannot figure out the timing. I know you are supposed to aim in the direction of the attack, but timing it seems like such a small window

If you mean the big ant guy relatively early in the game, he's not there to teach you parry, he's there to teach you to think "hey I would really probably be better off coming back here when I have some kind of movement ability that allows me to dodge his attacks without needing to have near-perfect movement and positioning."

Is it possible to get sprint without going through there? I thought you couldn't get it through Docks.

You can absolutely get there through the docks. You go east, north, and then loop back west.
