No not all Salafi/Wahhabis see other Muslims as kaafir. Yes some extreme ones do, but theyre few altho may come across as a lot on the internet.
Most Sunnis believe the salafi/wahhabis are somewhat deviant, they are relevantly new compared to the other four madhhabs, and have reinterpreted some things. The differences arent all that big, but some people like to emphasize on these differences to make space for divisions and enmity. Best to leave these discussions, IMO. they are just futile and cause grievances, the ummah doesnt need any more divisions. I see youre a Hanafi, best to follow your madhhab and refrain from any discussions you have little knowledge of considering scholars did not enter into debates until they had acquired decades worth of knowledge, 20-30-40 years of studying, but today we argue over everything like we know the deen better than the scholars, after reading a few online articles or videos.
