Answer 1

You can use it in this way:

<?php 
wp_dropdown_categories( array(
    'name' => $this->get_field_name( 'category' ),
    'selected' => $instance["category"],
    'show_option_all' => 'All'
) );
?>

Where the “all” option will appears with the text you specify in the ‘show_option_all’ element and with the value “0” in the Drop Down field.
