What's wrong with this sentence. It sounds very perfect to me. I know we can say, "Are the sentences correct"?. Here, I have just added "all" as an adjective before "sentences".

Do they have the same meaning? Do they all have the same meaning?

Can I say, "Do they have the same meanings? Do they all have the same meanings?

You have a problem with the word order.

Are all the sentences correct?

No, we are asking if they share the same single meaning, one meaning, so the plural 'meanings' is not correct. If the answer is yes, you would say 'yes, they have the same meaning'. Or if it is no, you would say 'no, they have different meanings' (because we are now talking about more than one meaning).
