HDMI is a type of cable used for domestic high definition television signals. All Bluray players use HDMI as their HD connection to televisions but there is no such thing as an HDMI player.

Will a HDMI up convert DVD player play blu-ray disks as well?

DVD players cannot play Bluray discs. The lasers and the data storage are different so no data can be read from a Bluray disc in a DVD drive. That is the case whether or not there is any up-scaling available in the player. Bluray players on the other hand are quite happy to play DVDs as well as Bluray discs.

Depends on what you mean by "all formats". A BluRay player will play all commercial DVDs, music CDs, and BluRay DVDs, but may not play some compressed formats like avi, mp3 or mkv files. You need to check the specifications to find out what formats an individual machine will or will not play.

Can you play a Blu-ray player on a regular tv?

Yes you can. Virtually all Bluray players have an analog output which is standard definition. This can be connected to the video input of any television and you will see a standard definition image from a Bluray disc. The quality won't be as good as is on the disc of course but at least the disc will play. It is normally possible to set up the HDMI connector to output a standard definition signal. This is probably not of much use as almost all televisions that have HDMI inputs will also accept high definition signals. It might also be worth pointing out that standard DVDs will also play on a Bluray player. Using the analog output from the player with a standard DVD playing will give the same quality of image as any standard DVD player.
