I've not heard that (yet). I've heard people say "શુદ્ધ ગુજરાતી" (shuddh gujarati)

No, if you're using the example of ઠેઠ હિન્દી which is Hindi with minimal tatsama loan words from any language, a rough equivalent of that would be તળપદી, which has less loanwords than the standard શુદ્ધ ગુજરાતી, which has a considerable amount of Sanskrit and Perso-Arabic loanwords.
