No, those are not correct. I'm confused about the meaning of the sentence, too.

Another way of writing it would be as follows:
They did everything to give me a hard time.

Usually the word "everything" is followed by "possible" like this:
They did everything possible to give me a hard time.
It seems redundant but that is how it is usually said.
They did everything possible to give me a hard time.

I can't see a reason why someone should say something like that. Lol.

I agree with Radrook regarding adding "possible". Another variant would be:
They did everything they could to give me a hard time.
They did everything they could to give me a hard time.
