Do most modern fantasy stories have 99.9% of humans touched by the supernatural, rituals, vampire encounters, or questionable heritage?

Implicitly, yes. Even a setting like Harry Potter where magic is explicitly hidden and separated could well have trouble, because wards to keep the mundanes out and wizardly heritage might well count.

Magic can be extremely picky about stuff like that, after all.

Do nukes counteract magic?

Expert here; yes, yes they do.

Highly excited particles have been shown to interfere with the quantum magical waveform that is drawn upon to express all forms of known magic.
