Yes. Parsing presumes a human-readable language. HTML was meant to be
human-readable.

It is a different matter. There are classes of formal languages. Regular
expressions belong to such a class. If some language is out of the class
its sentences cannot be recognized/described/generated.
This is not directly related to parsing and parsing is only partially
about recognizing valid statements. A parser must also deal with invalid
ones in order to provide meaningful diagnostics and have an output,
beyond just yes-no.
