Was every Jew responsible for the crucifixion?

It could be read, at least in the English, to mean either, "let all of you know that God has made this same Jesus whom all of you have crucified" or "let all of you know that God has make this same Jesus who [you and you and you, who were in the crowd yelling 'crucify' or were among those who plotted with Judas] both Lord and Christ. In English it would depend totally on body language to determine which sense of you was indicated. In the Greek, I believe there is a verb tense variation, but I don't read Greek.

As to the other, there are several prophecies that could be understood to represent several things. But I wasn't debating whether or not the prophecy in Ezekiel was intended to describe the events in 70 AD, but rather that Ezekiel 5 is talking about destruction coming as a result of the Jews disobedience to God's laws and commands, not their rejection of Christ.
