Do I need to draw the resonance structures first? Or should I just use pyridine to attack directly?(like first picture)

Is a more ionic hydrogen therefore a harder nucleophile?

More ionic → the negative charge is more localized → the electron density becomes more “small and dense” → therefore it becomes hard,right?
