So if you wanted to say you know everyone here at a party in which there are both genders present would you say it differently or is it the same because czlowiek is masculine?

Just echoing Ten_Pies_I_Brew's question:
If "znam tu każdego" implies "każdego człowieka", can we say "znam to każdą" to imply "każdą kobietę"?
Thank you :)

Is każdy only used for persons? Than what would be the meaning of I know everything? And is there any difference in meaning of znam wszystkich/każdego?
No, "każdy" simply means "every"/"each", so let's say in a cartoon about dogs a dog coming into a room full of other dogs could possibly say "Znam tu każdego", because the context makes it clear that was is meant is "every dog", or if you prefer, "everyone".
Well, "I know everything" is completely different and means "Wiem wszystko". The verb changes because "to know" here is about having some knowledge, and not 'knowing someone'.
No, at least in this sentence, "wszystkich/każdego" mean basically the same.
