The correct pronunciation of "Malleus Maleficarum" is "mah-LEH-oos mah-leh-FEE-car-um." The stress is on the first syllable of each word. In Latin, "malleus" means "hammer" and "maleficarum" means "witches," so the phrase translates to "The Hammer of Witches."

Is Weyer's hierarchy of Demons reliable?

I would have to say no. Johann Weyer printed it as a direct response to the handbook, Malleus Maleficarum, which was an anti witch/occult guide book. The original title of this particular heirarchy was, Pseudomonarchia Daemonum (The false monarchy of the demons). Therefore, I would assume that it is not viable as a true statement of the heirarchy.
