This is an extremely broad/random question but you always see in movies a Catholic priest with his rosary and prayer book exorcising someone, or the protagonist running around from a demon and finding solace in the fanciest Catholic Church in existence.

Can demons he exorcised by priests or ministers of other Abrahamic religions? How about non Abrahamic religions?

What I put my Anglican Rosary nearby a possessed person, would it go nuts and scream and yell as if I put a Catholic rosary or used holy water on it?

Random I know! But not sure what the Catholic Church teaches about that stuff
 
I’m no priest(obviously), but I’d avoid trying to find out. I would assume that a Catholic/Orthodox exorcism is the only valid form of exorcism.
 
I think Judaism has the ability too…according to their faith. I’ve never seen nor heard of one, though.

Unlikely.

Acts 19:13 But some itinerant Jewish exorcists too tried pronouncing the name of the Lord Jesus over people who were possessed by evil spirits; they used to say, ‘I adjure you by the Jesus whose spokesman is Paul.’

14 Among those who did this were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest.

15 The evil spirit replied, ‘Jesus I recognise, and Paul I know, but who are you?’

16 and the man with the evil spirit hurled himself at them and overpowered first one and then another, and handled them so violently that they fled from that house stripped of clothing and badly mauled.
