@Tht1guy So you want a 6IV Gardevoir? That's quite tough to get, especially if you're breeding a 2IV with a 4IV.
By not maxed, I think you mean that although your male Ralts' IVs are high, they aren't IVs of 31. Let's imagine that all 4IVs of your male Ralts are 27 (this probably isn't true with your Ralts).
To answer your first question, short answer no. Destiny Knot randomly picks 5 random IVs from both parents to pass on to the offspring. Even if the situation goes favorably (All of Male Ralts IVs are passed down and Gardevoir's Speed/Sp. Atk IV ((I'll use the Speed IV as example)) is passed down, your Ralts' IVs would look something like this:
27/27/27/random IV from 1-31/27/31
If Ralts' 27 IV is passed down: it will always be 27. However if neither parents' Sp. Attack stat is passed down for example, you'll get a IV ranging from 1-31 for that stat. If that stat happens to be 31, then good. It's kinda random though.
Second question, you can give your Destiny Knot to either parent. Since they both have a Modest Nature you can give the Everstone to either then the Destiny Knot to the other.
You stated that whenever you bred a male and female with the IVs Sp. Atk and Speed the offspring would always have those two IVs. Your chance of Destiny Knot passing down either Parent's Perfect Sp Atk and/or Speed stat is 4/12 (both parents have 6IVs, perfect or not) which is basically 1/3. So I'd say you were lucky.
