The include all sources check box has no impact on what parts of a source is included in the GEDCOM. That setting is there more for when you are only exporting part of your file. If that is not checked only the sources linked to the individuals in the export will be included. If it is checked all sources will be included, even though some may not be used by the portion of the file you are exporting.
There is no way, other than editing the output GEDCOM, to remove/exclude part of a source that is going to be included. To clarify the SOUR and PAGE tags. The SOUR contains the information about the Master Source. The PAGE tag contains, as you indicated, the Source detail entered for a particular fact for a person.
