Does "dotyczy" require Genitive? It seems like "to us" is usually Dative ("nam"), but here it's not. Is it because it's "all of us"?
Yes, it requires Genitive.
True, it's often Dative, but I'd say that Dative is generally used for 'the recipient of action', for example "He gives cake to us"... I'm not sure if here's there any action to be received. Also perhaps this rule isn't foolproof. But "all of us" surely changes nothing, simple "applies to us" would still be "dotyczy nas".
