Is "whoever" in this sentence correct?

Hi all,

I have two questions for you. I hope I can get help from someone.

1. Is this sentence correct? (Of course, I know the meaning of this sentence is controversial, but take it as just a composition.)

Most Americans think take it for granted that whoever in other countries speaks English.

Sample answer uses "all the people" in stead of whoever.
Is it also okay to use "everyone" too?

2. Which sentence is correct?

I have a question about English.
I have an English question.

Thank you in advance!
