A regula hurricane moves counterclockwise. What percentage of hurricanes do not follow the regular pattern? Are they more or less powerful than the regular hurricanes? Is the damage left in the aftermath and the resulting death more or less?

Yes. (on the other side of the equator it is clockwise country)
The smaller they are the bigger the chance on 50- 50 rotation is. However they would qualify as dust devils and... damage is zero.
I have not actually seen and research data on big(ger) but dutch university is doing some beautiful research for small ones. Looks like art.

No, a hurricane is in the center of a low pressure area, which ONLY rotate counterclockwise. There is no such thing as a hurricane that rotates clockwise.

Yes in the southern hemisphere.
Coriolis effect says south of the equator winds move in a clockwise direction, in northern hemishere counterclockwise direction. No exceptions.

probably only in the southern hemisphere,
like how toilets are all counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere but clockwise down south
of course down there they would be regular
