In the poem "Tristesses de la lune" by Charles Baudelaire, there is a usage of "ainsi que" like:"Ce soir, la lune rêve avec plus de paresse ; Ainsi qu'une beauté..."

Pierre joue mal, Louis joue encore plus mal que lui, mais c'est Karl qui joue le plus mal. Can 'pire' be used instead of the 2nd and 3rd highlighted adverbs? Also is pire=le pire? "the worst"? E.g. C'est le pire film. (Its the worst film.) Thanks in advance.
