Answer 1

Why don't you use the same multi-selection datatable used in the PrimeFaces DataTable showcase As you can see in:

 <p:dataTable id="multiCars" var="car" value="#{tableBean.mediumCarsModel}" paginator="true" rows="10" selection="#{tableBean.selectedCars}">

It will automatically add a check-all functionality. In case you want an external checkbox to check all, you can do the following. Give a widgetVar to you datatable, let's call it dataTableWV

 <p:dataTable widgetVar="dataTableWV" id="multiCars" var="car" value="#{tableBean.mediumCarsModel}" paginator="true" rows="10" selection="#{tableBean.selectedCars}">  

And you have a checkbox:

 <input id="checkAll" type="checkbox" />

You can register a click event on it like the next:

 <script>
      $(document).ready(function() {
          $('#checkAll').on('click', function() {
               //selects all records on the displayed page if pagination is supported.
               dataTableWV.selectAllRowsOnPage();

               //or you can select all the rows across all pages.
               dataTableWV.selectAllRows();
          });
      });
 </script>

Answer 2

<p:dataTable widgetVar="dataTableWV" id="multiCars" var="car" value="#{tableBean.mediumCarsModel}" paginator="true" rows="10" selection="#{tableBean.selectedCars}">
  <f:facet name="header">
      <p:commandButton value="select" onclick="PF('dataTableWV').selectAllRows()" />
      <p:commandButton value="unselect" onclick="PF('dataTableWV').unselectAllRows()" />
  </f:facet>
</p:dataTable>

Sample Code:-

**JAVA (your backing bean class)
==============================**
//Stores the checked items from data table.
private List<String> selectedIds = new ArrayList<>();

private List<String> getSomeList() {
// return list of strings to data table
  return someList;
}

public void selectAllCheckboxes(ToggleSelectEvent event) {
if (selectedIds != null)  {
    selectedIds.clear();
    if (event.isSelected()) {
        selectedIds.addAll(someList); //Add all the elements from getSomeList()
    }
 }
}

**XHTML
=====**

<p:dataTable id="data-table-id" value="#{backingBean.someList}"
selection="#{backingBean.selectedIds}" rowKey="#{id}" var="id"                   
paginator="true" rows="10" paginatorPosition="bottom"
paginatorAlwaysVisible="false" rowSelectMode="checkbox"
rowsPerPageTemplate="10,20,30,50">

<p:column selectionMode="multiple" />
<p:ajax event="toggleSelect" 
update="@this"listener="#backingBean.selectAllCheckboxes}"/>

</p:dataTable>
