Do all photos have EXIF data?

No. Some phones or cameras don't record EXIF info. Some image formats like GIF don't support EXIF data. Graphic editors and special software could remove metadata as well. And there's no way to find whether the metadata was there originally.

Can I find where the picture was taken?

Is there a way to see hidden or blurred out parts of the photo?

No, EXIF data doesn't change what you see in the photo. If some parts of the picture are blurred out or hidden by a censor block, you can't restore them. Photo metadata doesn't modify actual pixels that are on the image.
