Can marine fish survive in 1.035 water?

Many fish can withstand parameters that seem extreme as long as it happens slowly.
That said, I would test the refractometer with some water of a know Sg and calibrate.
If you have some distilled water you can clean the slide and calibrate to 0 ,
then retest.
Be sure to clean the lens and slide after use because salt can accumulate and throw off test results.

. While all looks fine now the physical stress on the fish of having that much higher of a salt concentration could lead to problems.

It depends on the fish. There are some that can tolerate extremes of salinity:

Fish species flourish in hypersaline estuary
Scientists have a better understanding of fish capable of living in highly saline estuaries following an in-depth study of the Leschenault Estuary in south-western Australia.
