Hi,
To change the Tethered mode after the initial configuration, you need to reset the configuration: Options > Advanced > Reset configuration. This will restart the system back to factory setting and allow you to change the Tethered mode.
To sync all contacts from SuiteCRM to Outlook, you need to mark them for synchronization by setting the "Sync to Outlook" property of each contact. You can just do "Mass update". Note that this is a per user selection, so each user needs to do a mass update. Also, you need to select non-Tethered in this case.

You need to reset configuration only if you want to switch from 'tethered mode' to 'non-tethered' and vice versa after the initial configuration, otherwise that option is disabled. To sync all contacts from Suite to Outlook, you need to go to SuiteCRM before you start the outlook sync and do a mass update and select to turn on the 'Sync to Outlook' property for all contacts. Please refer to the SuiteCRM documentation on how to do mass update.

Ok, i've got: 1 Outlook User with tethered mode not selectable => Sync Contacts = "Marked to be synced" 1 Outlook User with tethered mode on => Sync Contacts = "All"
if i do a Mass Update: Sync to Outlook = "Yes" on all of the Contacts of the SuiteCRM instance, will both Outlook Users have the Contacts synced?

Mass update with "Sync to Outlook =Yes" only affects the CRM to Outlook direction. For Outlook to CRM see: https://www.outlook-integration.com/docs/frontend6suite/#contacts
