Answer 1

The items that you bound the ComboBox to should have a property like IsSelected, then you should bind IsChecked of the data-template CheckBox to that. Then you just need to iterate over the source collection and set IsSelected=true on all items.
e.g.
public class MyClass : MyBaseClass // Whatever you may have called it,
{
public bool IsSelected { ... }
public string DaysText { ... }
//...
}
<DataTemplate>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected}" Content="{Binding DaysText}" Tag="{Binding DaysValue}" />
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
//In the handler that is supposed to select all
foreach (var item in MonthDaysList) item.IsSelected = true;
Of course the property needs to have change notifications.
(Also a note on usability: I do not thing that ComboBoxes should contain CheckBoxes, if you need multiple item selection use a ListBox)

Answer 2

You need to take one more property isSelected as said by H.B.
add IsChecked="{Binding IsSelected}" to CheckBox tag in xaml file. Create one property in the appropriate class i.e. public bool isSeleted.......
When you get in to event chkWeeks_Checked() in this function get reference of the ComboBox item source like objList = (TypeCastYourClassType)YourComboBox.ItemSource;... Now the objList contains all checkbox items. Iterate through objList collection and get isSeleted property for each and every single item and that's done....
In your case
MonthDayList = (TypeCastYourClassType)rcbDays.ItemSource;
for(int i=0;i<MonthDayList.Count;i++)
{
MonthDayList[i].isSelected = true;
}

Here is some good discussion for allowing multiple values to be selected in the telerik combobox.
It uses checkbox within combobox
