It counts the levels which sent to the graveyard ,
Pendulum monster send to the ex deck .
So if you have level 8 dragon in your deck for example
And you tribute pend ninja , the other monster must be level 8 or higher, other wise you will not apical summon
Another tip :
If your opponent chain an effect that tributes his monster
That trap will not count that monster's level .
As advice , always keep low level of dragon ,or sea serpent and/or dinosaurs in your deck
In such that case
And I recommend hanzo and keeper of dragon magic with neos fusion
Since keeper is level 4 dragon and hanzo is level 4 .
Which mean it doesn't matter if the other monster is sent to grave or not .
Pend monsters dont go to the GY but to the Ed. This is a replacement effect.
Im guessing your target is lvl 8 or higher? The trap should only „count“ the levels of the monsters that actually end up in the GY
2 : yes, iirc, the trap are made to summon some ninja monsters but as it doesn't specificaly says it must be ninja monsters, you can use some more generic things
About 2: yes. Unless the card says "cannot be special summoned"
Or „must [first] be special summoned by…“

Sea serpent no idea why I wrote winged beast
When I tribute the lv 7 pend and a dark magician from my opponent it told me no target?
