Удачлив is okay. Well, still wouldn't say that. I'd say in a cowboy style: "Я безумно удачливый сукин сын, что тебя нашёл".

Now let's make a compliment to the parents of the girl:
"You are very lucky that you have such wonderful daughter"

This time vam povezlo doesn't sound so nice. Correct?
It's better to use kratkuiu formu: Vy ochen udachlivyi, chto u vas naskolko prekrasnaya doch'.
Correct?

No. "Вам повезло, что у вас такая прекрасная дочь" - is the most common form.

You can also say "Вы счастливый человек - у вас такая прекрасная дочь".
