No. God can redeem everyone of all time if He wanted to. That is not His divine purpose.
Christ wishes All who believe and follow Him to be saved, recognizing that only those who the Father draws into Him can believe, and that the Father has sent Him to save those people.
TLDR: Christ wants to save whom the Father sends Him, which is a small flock across time of predestined people.
Can the father draw someone to Christ only to be rejected by that person?
He already knew who would accept Christ, so then, and only then did He predestin them to be fully drawn into the Father. The rest were never saved. And God knew that at the beginning.
Neither.
God predestined who would be redeemed to Himself, not based on any works in them (like knowing who would voluntarily accept Christ which would mean none would be redeemed because all are God-hating and unable to come to Christ by themselves), but for God's own purposes.
1. God regenerates sinners of His own choosing.
2. Those regenerated hear the Gospel from God's saints.
3. Those regenerated are drawn into Christ by way of the Gospel, drawn in by way of God.
4. They are utterly unable to resist God's grace, desiring to be in Christ.
5. This perseverance stays with them even as they fall short an sin, ultimately leading to their preparation (and sanctification) for life ever after.
6. Christ raises them up on the last day, saving all whom the Father gave to him.
TLDR: you can't reject God. Those predestined to Christ have *less* free will than those who are free to continue in Sin, and thank God for that.

To believe that one can resist God's regeneration is to believe that God can fail to redeem His predestined people.
So no, nobody whom God draws into Christ is able to resist a life of repentance and sanctification, but this is to be desired when compared to a slavery of sin.
1 Tim 2:4-6
God wants everyone to be saved and to fully understand the truth. 5 There is only one God, and there is only one way that people can reach God. That way is through Christ Jesus, who as a man 6 gave himself to pay for everyone to be free.
"The scope of the desire and the scope of the ransom are parallel: God desires the salvation of all kinds of people (not only Jews or the upper class), and Christ died sufficiently for all kinds of people, but efficaciously only for the elect from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation"

Rom 8:29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.
God is familiar with those, "fore-knowing" whom He intends to redeem to Himself because God created them for His purpose, not because God reviewed their actions and determined them worthy.
None of Man's actions are worthy of God, and no man is able to come to Christ without God first transforming them.
Therefor, God foreknew them in intimate familiarity because they belong to Him, not because God likes who they became in themselves, but because God has a purpose unto Himself.

1 Peter 1:20 – Christ was “foreknown before the foundation of the world.”
God didn't review how Christ would perform and approve of it, He "created' Christ (instantiate Himself) in order for the preordained purpose of redeeming God's predestined people to Himself.
God foreknew Christ the same way God foreknew God's elect people: familiarity due to creative purpose and intent, not due to performance.
