Here's a video of us driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway a couple weekends ago. Road is plenty wide enough. Winding? Yes, it's primarily in the mountains. And yes you will encounter some grade. You sohuld be able to traverse all the tunnels, but look at the NPS website to for the tunnel heights and know what the height is per tunnel (side vs middle). If uncomfortable with it, get off the parkway.
Watched you video and that section looks do-able. The south end has sharper curves and you have to be careful where you "get off the parkway". A lot of the roads that go to the parkway are worse (we call them "better" on motorcycles) than the parkway. I'd hate to end up on Hwy 215 or 151 in NC as my "exit" road. You could get on/off at Hwy 19 or Hwy 74/23. I'd really study a map or GPS before trying any road in that area.
