NO. He was NOT blind. If anything he was partially blind. The only real suggestion he was blind was the bible being brail at the end, which can be misread since he knew the bible.
There's way too many indicators he was not blind. For example, at the beginning when he saw the road mobsters kill the people he kept going. Yet later in the movie in the bar he recognized the motorcyclists. How would he have recognized them if he never saw them?
When he was offered the room to stay in, how did he immediately walk over to the bed and set his bag down? Same scene, how did he accept the food tray and set it on the table without having seen the table before? Additionally, the very first fight scene, how would he be able to walk over and find the hand he cut off? It's not like the hand is flapping around.
At the end he repeated the bible word for word. This shows he memorized the bible and that's how he taught himself brail by already knowing what the Bible said, therefore he could read brail.
