According to the manual:
If ‘edebug-all-defs’ is non-‘nil’, then the commands ‘eval-region’,
‘eval-current-buffer’, and ‘eval-buffer’ also instrument any definitions
they evaluate. Similarly, ‘edebug-all-forms’ controls whether
‘eval-region’ should instrument _any_ form, even non-defining forms.
This doesn’t apply to loading or evaluations in the minibuffer. The
command ‘M-x edebug-all-forms’ toggles this option.
Another command, ‘M-x edebug-eval-top-level-form’, is available to
instrument any top-level form regardless of the values of
‘edebug-all-defs’ and ‘edebug-all-forms’. ‘edebug-defun’ is an alias
for ‘edebug-eval-top-level-form’.
I think this answers your questions.
