Usually if a caliper is hanging up which is unlikely since you have a new caliper and brake hose, you'll feel it at all speeds and the bad one will be opposite side of the direction it pulls when you hit the brakes.
I can't explain why it won't bleed, but if it stops straight and well at lower speeds, and is only pulling a bit, tires might be suspect.
Maybe try swapping front tires side to side.
I had a recent situation where rotated tires back to front on the old Dodge, tires like new still, truck acted like alignment was bad or a caliper hanging up a little. Pulled slightly while driving and pulled harder while braking at highway speeds. Brakes weren't hanging up and alignment was good. Swapped front tires side to side and the issue went away.
Can't explain it, but that was last year and the truck still drives and stops straight. Tire appears to have zero problems. No vibration, no bulges, nada.
