No, only one run scores. As soon as the one winning run is scored, the game is over. The only exception is for a home run in which case all runners may score). There is no such exception for ground rule doubles. The MLB rule book states: 4.11 The score of a regulation game is the total number of runs scored by each team at the moment the game ends. ... (c) If the home team scores the winning run in its half of the ninth inning (or its half of an extra inning after a tie), the game ends immediately when the winning run is scored.

You will play the entire 6th inning but that will be your last inning -- if the home team takes the lead in the bottom of the 6th the game will end just like any other game in the last inning

When a regulation game ends in a tie, the International Tie Breaker rule is used. At the beginning of each team's at-bat the last batter from the previous inning is placed on 2nd base. It is not sudden death. Each team has an opportunity to bat each inning. The game ends when one team is ahead at the end of an inning.
