Dear Sean:
Yes, all human preachingis is "foolish" in that it can of itself produce NOTHING. Only if God empowers our foolishness, can it ever have any positive effect on converting another human being.
No, God does NOT work all things together for good for the wicked in this life. That is why He has made both vessels of HONOR and vessels of DISHONOR. Certainly in the life to come in judgment, all will work for the good of the wicked being judged, but not in this lifetime.
God be with you,
Ray
