Question Get all Alt's Names

Is there a way to get all player characters (alts) names for all Servers ?

As there really isn't a way to track someone as a RealID friend, no. Even if there was, there is no API to scan their alts. You would have to have an addon catch every char they log in on and build its own list.

You'd need an AddOn that uses LibAlts-1.0 or a similar method without a library.

In any case, as SDPhantom said, you'd have to manually add association to a saved variable.

For your own alts, you can use an addon like Altoholic. It records many things about each of your characters on an account so you can look it up later. You need to log in on each one after installation so it can build its database.
