Can bosses Parry my attacks?

Yes. Monsters and bosses have Block, the stat that gives Parry Chance. Your Accuracy and Block Penetration both work against their Block. With too little Accuracy, they Parry more of your hits. Attacks from behind ignore the target's Block.
Is Parry the same as Shield Block?

No. A Parry blocks the hit with your weapon. A Shield Block uses a shield. One stat, Block, raises the chance of both, and Dexterity adds Block. If you carry a shield, you can still Parry after a Shield Block.
