is working every bodypart apart from legs twice a week overtraining?

No, just make sure your not going overboard on the sets. I've found that training each body part twice per week with a heavy day then light day works best for me.

get enough of rest between and dont go super heavy each time, im doing one day for power and mass and other day for isolation and it works well so far

No.

Depends

For the last month I have been working legs and everything else up to 5 times a week. And I'm an ol' codger.

Of course I don't ever train deliberately to failure(except to test where I'm at), and do low rep, low set training after single warmups.

I'd say for most people twice a week would be great.

what i do is first part of the week is strength (so 8-6 reps) and the second part is hypertrophy (so 15, 12, 10), does this sound ok?

Sounds good to me.. I like to do heavy strength training one day, with ample rest in between sets / exercises...and then 3 or so days later, come back and hit that same muscle group with lower weight, high rep super-setting.

For example on my first chest day, I'll flat barbell bench, incline bb bench, and decline bb bench at my normal heavy weight for 5-8 reps. Then on the second day i'll flat db press supersetted with flat db flies, then incline db press with incline db flies, and dips with cable crossovers or decline db's with decline flies, at a substantially lesser weight for 12-15 reps really concentrating on form.
