Designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, the fast and versatile Sigma 45mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens is a normal-length prime that optimizes size as well as weight while rendering notably smooth bokeh with rounded out-of-focus highlights in both the foreground and background. Coupled with its ability to soften the periphery of blurred images while enhancing the three-dimensional impression of an object, its 9.5" minimum focusing distance makes it suitable for snapshots to tabletop photos, or any imagery where you wish to make your subject stand out.

Noticed it says the Mount has a dust- and splash-proof structure, via a rubber ring that makes the mount weather resistant. Is the full lens weather resistant or is it just the mount?
Sigma Contemporary lenses, such as this one, have moderate weather sealing. Sigma Sports lenses have full weather sealing. This is reflective in their relative costs.

Hi, could someone be so kind to comment on advantages and disadvantages of this lens, compared to the Sony FE 50mm f / 2.8 Macro Lens? thanks in advance
The Sony FE 50mm f/2.8 Macro would have the advantage of a true normal angle of view and the short focusing distance of 6.3" from the subject. Despite the Sigma 45mm being a bit wider than a normal, it does offer a more substantial grip for manual focus and a manual aperture ring.

Is the focus ring 0.8 pitch? Could it be used directly with a follow focus or would it still need an adapter ring?
The focus ring on the Sigma 45mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary Lens is for gripping with your fingers, it is not a gear for follow focus gears. You would still need a lens gear such as this:
