I understand what's going on when you embed a interrogative clause using
か、like when you form pronouns like 誰か、or write things like
「ええ、何を食べたか知らないよ・・・。」

However, It's still beyond me what も、does when used to embed a clause; I get
how 誰か means 'somebody' or 'whom', but I don't understand why what's normally
the temporally inclusive topic marking particle makes it's 誰も mean 'everyone'
or 'anyone', which is what I'm hoping to learn.

Edit: Could you also explain how the meaning changes when using でも instead of
using も？

question
particle-も
What exactly happens when you embed a clause with も?
Words like 誰も and 何も etc. when used with negative verbs take on their negative
counterpart essentially.

誰かいた **Someone** was there.

誰もいなかった **No one** was there. (There wasn't anyone there)

For the most part the でも just sort of emphasizes it in a the sense:

それは有名でもない That is not _even_ famous.

It's actually just the same particle も attached to the particle で (or also the
copula だ in て form)
