No. The "path of totality", the area affected by a total solar eclipse, is only about 150 miles wide and several thousand miles long. Outside the area of totality, a partial eclipse of the sun is visible for a much wider area, but still not world-wide.
For example, the total solar eclipse that will occur on July 22, 2009 will begin in northern India north of Mumbai, and the path of totality will pass through Nepal, Tibet, China (passing over Shanghai) and across the Pacific Ocean nearly to South America, when the eclipse ends.

In the case of a total lunar eclipse, there is no 'path of totality'. If the lunar eclipse is total, then the entire moon is entirely inside the Earth's shadow. Anybody who can see the moon at the time sees the same view of the eclipse. That means everybody on the night-time side of the Earth.
