'C-h c' and 'C-h Z C' are informative: 'c' marks all unread messages
as read, 'Z C' marks all messages (read, unread, ticked, whatever) as
read.

I'd kind of expect (2) and (3) to be the same as well.  You can also
run 'c' from the group buffer, which has the same effect as running it
from the summary buffer.  I don't think I've ever actually used the
capital-C variants.
