Let’s see, is there any exclusion to “everyone” or “on them all”…?

Yes, the all there are the elect out from amongst both the jews and the gentiles. Also the Mercy Paul is speaking of is Salvation Mercy, it saves them He had Mercy upon, He regenerates and saves them according to Mercy Titus 3:5
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done,
but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
God doesnt have mercy on all mankind without exception, what about the vessels of wrath in distinction to the vessels of Mercy he just wrote about in Chapter 9 Rom 9:20-24
20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering
the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on
the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Do you really suppose that God all of the sudden changed His Mind and Purpose and just has mercy on all mankind, including the vessels of wrath ?
And Gods Mercy is confined to a remnant , an elect remnant Micah 7:18
18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity,
and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
