can I connect my Sony DVD player via the HDMI cable and watch the video on my MacBook Pro?

Not directly no. The Mac has no video input. Only output.
You would need a capture device and its associated software to view the video signal from the DVD player on the Mac.
You can however, connect a USB optical drive that can play DVDs and watch it that way using the DVD player app.
