Must all the outlets in my garage be GFCI ?
1. I have receptacles in the ceiling for the lights to plug into, must they be GFCI?
2. How about 220 outlets for air compressor and welder, must they be GFCI?

No, only 120 volt general purpose outlets need GFI protection. Lighting and 240 volt equipment do not. Or something dedicated for a specific purpose, such as a garage door opener, or freezer.
