If the entire guitar is tuned up or down relative to standard, then you simply shift everything up or down the appropriate amount intervals. I cover how to play all 12 diatonic major & minor scales in three main patterns in these tutorials.

If any one or more strings is tuned up or down a different amount than the others (drop D, open G, etc.) then you just have to adjust the patterns for that string(s). That's more a matter of learning, practice & familiarity.
Yes, everyone should play in the same key together.
Hope that helps.
