In my language there are also informal and formal ways to refer to a person and for us, there's a whole savoir vivre rule that says who proposes to change from the formal way to informal way if it's adults talking; if you're talking to a child you don't use the formal way; if you're talking to family members, it depends on your culture and what the elders prefer, it changes from family to family :)

Could you say how is everything "как все"? Or is that grammatically incorrect

Accusative isn't used in this sense. You'd say "how are THEY?" (not "how are them") so you'll say how are YOU (subject form) instead of the "object"

The english "how are you?" Is shortened version of "how are you doing?" Therefore the 'you' is nominative. Yes?
