Tyranid Prime bone sword wounds inflict instant death on failed 3D6 leadership test.
Does Marneus Calgar rule "God of War" protects attack bikes from instant death?
Does morale test and leadership test are the same thing?

Moral checks and leadership tests are not the same thing, actually. See leadership tests on page 8 of the main rulebook, a leadership test is a type of characteristic test and separate from moral checks.
Leadership tests are different than moral checks. Check page 8 of the main rulebook for rules on leadership tests.
Marneous Calgar only allows you to choose or fail moral checks, not leadership tests, so boneswords affect units under his command normally. Yes, you can instant death the bikers if they fail their test.

Is bonesword's a psychic test that can be negate with a psychic hood or wolftail talisman or does it work all the time?

Doesn't Calgar have Eternal Warrior. I've read the Bonesword entry in the codex but doesn't mention bypassing that rule. I maybe wrong though.
My son, ask for thyself another Kingdom, for that which I leave is too small for thee.
its not for him, its for related units with combat tactics in regard of the "God of war" rule.
My question remains : Can bonesword be negated in any ways?
With the exception of Eternal Warrior i don't think so as it's a leadership based problem.

thanks alot!
When looking at the bonesword, consider that it is functionally identical to the Dire Avenger Dire Sword. The Exarch is not a psyker, therefore no psychic test come into play. Interestingly, the Dire Sword is slightly better as it does not cause instant death, but kills regardless of wounds.
