In cases like 何でも and 何も, are they considered words on their own, or are they
considered words + じょし? I've been told that it's one word, but sometimes the
particle is separated like in: どこへもいきません。If it is a word plus a particle, why
are the particles でも, か, and も used, what do they mean, and how do they change
the interrogative? Also, how would I say "I want to go everywhere" in
Japanese? I was told that どこも行きたい is incorrect, but I don't know how else to
phrase it. Doesn't どこも mean "nowhere" when the verb is negative, and
"everywhere" when the verb is positive?

Interrogatives + じょし
Generally, monolingual dictionaries consider 何でも, 誰でも, いつでも, どこでも and such as
two words, i.e., an interrogative 何/etc followed by the particle でも. (They
have an entry for 何でも anyway because 何でも has a significant meaning as a set
phrase.) 誰にも, どこからでも and so on are three words (だれ + に + も = "to anyone", どこ +
から + でも = "from anywhere").

Dictionaries for Japanese learners may list them as one word for the sake of
convenience. There is [more than one way to separate
words](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/36310/5010), after all.

"I want to go everywhere" is どこ **へでも** 行きたい or どこ **にでも** 行きたい. You need a
destination marker へ or に. You have to use でも instead of も if your sentence is
non-negative. For details, see:
