1 is incomplete. Comparative and superlative forms are used for comparisons, but there's no hint of comparison in 1.
2 is OK. It implies that he works harder than all the other people in his group (whatever that may be).
3 and 4 mean the same thing, yes.
5 and 6 imply that "she" is more beautiful than all the others in her group (beauty contestants? female students? or what?).
7 is incorrect usage.
8 and 9 mean the same thing, yes.
1. He works hardest.
2. He works the hardest.
(Are both correct?)
3. She is most beautiful.
4. She is very beautiful.
5. She is the most beautiful.
(Does #3 mean #4 or #5?)
6. She is the most beautiful woman.
7. She is most beautiful woman.
8. She is a most beautiful woman.
9. She is a very beautiful woman.
(is #7 correct? Does #8 mean #9?)
