If the only choices are "all" and "every", then it looks like you are correct. However, in 1, I would say, "I know all of the words to this song of his by heart". It doesn't make sense that he would only have one song, and generally a song is looked at as a block of words, not a group of individual words.

The determiner 'every' is always used with a singular noun and a singular verb. The other determiner 'all' can be used with singular/plural noun and singular/plural verb.
