Is the Condorcet Candidate, by definition, the Candidate winning 1-on-1
against All Opponents or the Candidate winning against the most?
Against all. If it's against most, then it would be the winner under the Copeland method, which is just one of many Condorcet methods. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copeland%27s_method

All of them. If there is no such candidate then there is no Condorcet winner.
Electing the candidate winning against the most other candidates is basically the Copeland method. That's not very decisive though, and its result can be affected by cloning candidates.
