Duration of time versus a precise moment

I am having trouble with a duration of time vs a precise moment. I thought that the sentence, THAT evening went very well, as a precise moment and therefore masculine. Why is it CETTE soirée s'est très bien passé ?

Tout le monde

I'm a bit confused as to whether to use Tout le monde as a singular or plural word:

"Tout le monde va dormir"

"Tout le monde vont dormir"

Also, On can be used to refer to ''you'' as in lots of people but I thought that was the translation/ role of Vous?

since On is used to refer to we/ people etc, why does it make use of the subject verb conjugation of il/elle. eg il est/ on est. Instead of On sommes

Sorry, if my questions may sound dumb but i am a curious person. Not satisfying my curiosity can keep me in a blank world of confusion.
