from package import * will still import everything defined in __init__.py, even if there is no all. The important difference is that without __all__ it will not automatically import any modules defined in package's directory.

When all contains [foo, bar] and in test.py file if we use: from package import *, then, do foo and bar get imported in the local namespace of test.py or in the foo and bars own namespace?

This answer is incorrect. The referred doc actually intends "module names" to mean names within the module namespace, not names of modules in the package (see github.com/python/cpython/issues/106556).
