About 何から何まで
何から何まで is a set phrase that may be interpreted in a very similar way to expressions like 'everything from A to Z', 'everything and anything', or 'from head to toe' in English. Being a construction of 何 'whatever', から 'from', 何 'whatever', and まで 'until', the literal meaning is similar to 'from whatever to whatever', and just indicates that there is no limit to what is included in a certain category.
This expression is often used in a similar way to adverbs, meaning that it will appear at the beginning of a sentence, before describing the situation further.
何から何まで is also frequently used in a similar way to 'absolutely everything' in English, and will appear in phrases where the speaker is expressing thanks or gratitude to someone for all that they have done.
