The greater the the pulse pressure the lower the pressure gradient driving blood from the aorta through the systemic circulation?

This statement is not accurate. Pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure and is related to the elasticity of arteries. It does not directly affect the pressure gradient driving blood through the systemic circulation, which is mainly determined by the overall systemic vascular resistance.

What is the difference between random and systemic error?

Systemic or precisely Systematic Error in a reading taken by an instrument occurs due to the parts installed in it. Random error occurs when we get a number of repetitive readings during the same experiment because of human error. Perfect example for random is "Parallax Method".
