Answer

In all of his = surrounded by his...   or with all of his ....
The sentence is sarcastic.  "In all his glory" is used to apply to God or somebody very important.  The translation is that A is not as impressed by his "Glory" and he thinks that Elena is too impressed by his personality and aura.
To put it into everyday use, if you saw someone who is very self-important (they think they are much more important than they actually are) you might say:
"Well, there he is, in all his glory!"  It would be a negative comment.

Answer

I understand it that Elena likes everything about the guy - whaterver he does or says, even if other people don't approve him.
