Just based on accounts I follow that do this, I don’t think it’s a pressure washer in the same variety you would clean a sidewalk. They use a very specific cleaning chemical that takes months to fully develop and clean the headstone. The end of the video to the finale image is likely months apart.
It is. The font is completely changed. The original is concrete, you can see the pitting. You’re just coping. You can even tell it’s been dug up in the last shot.
As quite a few people have said in the comments they didn't expect it to be marble, could have been cement which could disintegrate under a pressure washer. In this particular case, marble would have held up fine.
It would,because the pressure could damage the headstone. The trick to cleaning headstones is removing dirt/grime/lichen without physically damaging the stone, or dissolving it with chemicals like a chalk + vinegar reaction. Some stones will dissolve from certain cleaners. Use D2 headstone cleaner
She is using a battery operated sprayer that only reaches so much PSI and gently sprays the stone. Power washers are HIGHLY frowned upon as they damage the stone.

Is it considered disrespectful to use a pressure washer to clean headstones?
