Just to name a scant few verses.
Yes. All humanity is invited to be saved. Free will allows that some will say no, but that is their choice.
Surely many today pass away without accepting Christ as their savior. Thus, the question is, If God intended to save all humanity, then why isn't it happening? Can God's intention and power be thwarted by man's resistance? To be sure, man can resist God - and they do. But in God's omnipotence, He can overcome man's resistance if it pleases Him to do so. God's election in granting sovereign grace to some and not all does not make him unjust (see Romans 9). We all have sinned against a pure and holy and righteous God. The just punishment is eternal condemnation. God's gift of grace to save some simply means he's being merciful to one group and giving justice to the other. NEITHER group receives INJUSTICE.
As for "who" the elect are, Jesus speaks of them in John 17:6-9:
"I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours."
My answer is no
God has much patients
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
But one day that patients ends
Mat 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 22:14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
