Recently I bought sd card SanDisk Ultra 128 GB because I had only have 32 GB on internal storage. I tried to move my game to sd card and then download in-game files, but only 1,3 GB is on the sd card and the rest is placed in internal storage. Is it posibble to install whole app on sd card ?

It depends on the size of the game. You can try downloading the whole app to the SD card. If by chance the SD card does not have enough space, you may have to leave the in-game files in the internal phone storage.

I have full sd card free and game weights totally 13 GB so all game files should go to the sd card but 1,3 GB is saved in sd card and rest is saved in internal storage. I tried few times with same effect.

It depends on the game. If the game not able to install on SD card, probably the SD card speed can cause lagging during game play. Internal SSD storage is way faster than SD card.

Most apps, including games won't run from the external sd card, unless otherwise stated.

Hi Verpanther, this is because of the difference in the file system. SD card has different partition (FAT32) and ext3 used by Linux. So, instead of moving the complete app to your SD card, your device moves a part of it and the rest remains in its internal memory so that it can be loaded faster whenever it is launched or being used. Sometimes, it also depends on the Games and their developers.
