                      I don't know why "lo" is needed here. Can I just say "quiero todo"?

                        It's a grammar thing. "Todo" is an adjective and can't be the direct object by itself. Direct objects must be a noun or pronoun. It's like saying, "I want intelligent," or "I want pretty." It sounds awkward, and while some people might say it that way as a shortened reply, there's actually an implied direct object in such sentences. Example: I want spicy [food].

                        Similarly, "Quiero todo" would be "I want all." To be grammatically correct, you should include the direct object: "Lo quiero todo" (I want it all).

                            It would translate to "I want everything" even though they mean the same thing.

                                    I think that would be "Quiero todos". I think the "lo" is a clue because it can translate as "it".

                                    (It's a very nice thought you have there though. "I love everyone". :-))

                                          For objects, they use "encantar" for love. "Querer" and "amar" are for people. For the differences, see this:

                                              Because the sentence means "I want it all" and "I´d like" ≈ "I want". But yes, "me gustaría" or "quisiera" would be a better translation of "I´d like".

                                              "I'd like" is "I would like", and not "I want" We have no contraction for "I want".

                                                  "Lo" is an object pronoun and it is placed before the verb, so "Lo quiero". It's similar to French. In French, "I want it" would be "Je le veux".
