No, not all stars in the sky can be seen from one place, they are spread all across the sky and in all different directions. There may be some very bright stars facing the other side of the earth that cannot be seen at that season because the earth faces the sun at the same time it would face those stars. Those ones may not be able to be seen until the earth is on the opposite side of its orbit.

Which star has a great absolute magnitude?

A disproportional percentage of the stars one sees at night are the giants, as many closer dwarf stars have dimmed out before their realtively feeble light reaches the Earth. If all the stars were the small distance away, the brightest would be Deneb, in the constellation of Cygnus.

How do you describe the stars of the first magnitude?

"First magnitude" usually means the brightest 21 stars, as seen from Earth. Another definition is stars with apparent magnitudes 0.5 to 1.5. This definition excludes the very brightest stars, like Sirius. They are the first stars that become visible after sunset and they all have names. Examples are Altair, Aldebaran, Capella, Spica, Antares, Fomalhaut, Deneb, Regulus, Sirius, etc. There can be confusion because First Magnitude stars are not stars with an "apparent magnitude" of exactly "one". They are just the brightest stars, but naturally their magnitudes are close to one.
