Answer

The word "Witness" here is a title of a movie from 1985 staring Harrison Ford. A "barn raising" was an act performed by members of a small community where everyone helps a local family build a barn.

Answer

Question 1: Witness refers to a book or film.

Question 2: You could use a similar construction, however unless you've had two graduations you wouldn't say that, also people from our generation probably won't have seen Witness (I know I haven't) so they wouldn't get the reference. It is not a set phrase. But, a similar semi-set phrase is "It (referring to a specific event) was like all my birthdays and Christmases rolled into one!" - meaning that it was a really amazing experience/day.

hope that helps!
