Actually, there would be no sword. Sephiroth as a great hero would be just the same kind of idol for having used an assault rifle which is what Cloud in turn would train to use. Tifa would find Cloud a little creepy for being so withdrawn and not agree to meet with him in a one-on-one situation. She might have met with him with a friend of hers (one of those kids who chickened out when she climbed Mt Nibel) but would have responded to his revelation not with "promise you'll rescue me" but with "...ookay."

Sephiroth wouldn't have gone insane and murdered Cloud's hometown, but would just have been an asshole who berated Cloud constantly until he finally broke down and fell into utter insanity.
Nope. Sephiroth would definitely have murdered Cloud's whole town. Post-traumatic stress disorder combined with access to multiple firearms.

Zack would have sided with Sephiroth, but kept in touch with Cloud and trolled him for fun.
Nope. Still dead.

And finally, Cloud would have looked Tifa up and said "Hey, remember when we were kids together?" and Tifa would have replied "Oh, yeah...whatever."
Cloud would not be able to find Tifa as the whole Sephiroth incident would have her so afraid that Cloud turned out the same way she would go into seclusion specifically to avoid him. Of course, that is assuming she wasn't killed during Sephiroth's shooting spree. Cloud too.
