Is there a way to select all the photos in the iPad 2's photo booth application and copy them to a new/existing album? currently I need to select each photo individually by clicking (touching) it.
Am I missing some kind of gesture that will allow me to select all of the existing photos in photo booth?

The best way to do this is with one of the more obscure settings in BetterTouchTool It works like this: A three fingered right swipe brings up the application switcher. Lift one finger to covert it into a two finger swipe and slide to whichever application you want.
It becomes an incredible natural and fluid gesture The beauty of the gesture is that it works anywhere on the screen and you don't have to position the mouse over the icons.
- In BTT assign the three finger swipe right to the application switcher.
- In BTT Action Settings -> Stuff(App Switcher) -> Use special application switcher
This answers the problem that bisko and senseful had above and avoids the last click or the necessity to be over the icon.
Single best gesture in my 'gesture vocabulary' and I have gestures for everything!
You could use a 3rd-party app such as the free WiFi Photo Transfer to access all those pictures on your MacBook Air. It uses a web browser to access the photos, so you don't have to install any software on the MacBook Air or deal with syncing.
The whole process is easy:
- Launch the app on the iPhone or iPad
- On your computer, you type in the address it tells you to in a browser.
- You can then choose to either download a specific picture or entire albums.
Another benefit is that none of the pictures are sent to the Internet.

EDIT: (Originally I had described a way to select multiple photos via the "Photos" app, and I didn't realize you could do that directly within Photo Booth.)
In short, no, you're not missing a secret gesture -- that's currently the only way to do it.
And unfortunately, I do not believe there is a way to create a new photo album on the iPad itself -- you'll have to do that on your computer and sync with iTunes to see the changes.
