Your best bet would be an external script such as this Perl thingy:
use Pg;
$database = Pg::connectdb("...");
$query = $database->exec("SELECT tablename FROM pg_tables");
while (($name) = $query->fetchrow) {
$res = $database->exec("GRANT all ON $name TO ???");
}
__END__
There are a few TODO items of the nature "make <command> act on several
tables at once", so one fine day it might be taken care of.

You must instruct the backend to use password authentication. See
pg_hba.conf(5).

There's no really good way without making your users superusers. That is
admittedly a deficiency.
