This question is rather silly you may think.
we have been playing: hits succes vs. defending succes.
ie. if i hit with 5 success and my opponent evade with 3 success, then i only
get 2 "hits" in right?
This is for ALL types of evasion and block/parrys?

Just to be clear, the in-game event is not necessarily 2 blows or hits. The Margin of Success (MoS), along with fine-grading the location by the d6 roll, serve to measure the damage level of the wound. i.e. Other factors being equal, an MoS of 1 indicates a level one wound, whereas an MoS of 4 indicates a level four wound -- far more severe, regardless of cut count.

k slightly on topic :)
how bout if attacker gets 5 successes and defender gets 5 successes. Is it a successful defend or is it a hit with a MoS of 0?

It's a successful defend. If you did a Full Evade, the blade goes whizzing through the air. If you did a Parry or a Block, the enemy sword klanks against your sword or shield.

It's a successful defend BUT the attacker retains initiative.
Important difference there.

"Ties, while no damage is dealt, are considered to go to the attacker for purposes of initiative. Such ties usually imply that the defender has just barely deflected the strike, and is still recovering from the momentum of the blow that he just blocked, parried, or dodged . . .", p. 77
Well, I learn something every day:)
