That is perhaps the view of the Bhakti branch of Hinduism.But even for us, that can be perfect enlightenment. If what we know is the will of God, to me that is perfect. If that leads us to awaken our love for God and receive His blessings, then that to me is perfect enlightenment. But we are not God and never will be. But we do have a relationship with Him. That can be perfect.
And if yes, in what sense?
Only in the sense of knowing all that is of real importance (one's true self), or also in the sense of knowing all (for instance: understanding the M-theory, beeing able to read all hieroglyphs, etc...)?

But does not a Jnani/Buddha see no difference in limited/unlimited?No.... because factual everyday knowledge depends on the material plane (prakriti or lower tattva). To learn a language, we need a brain, a memory, a mouth etc. All of this is relative and consequently limited.

When for such a person everything is equal - must he not, for this reason alone, have perfect knowledge of the so-called limited?

This.What do you have in mind when you say "perfect knowledge of the limited"? Do you mean that they should be able to speak all languages, for example,
Is not a Jnani free from Karma?As for learning all languages, for example. That is limited and so the laws of limitation apply. By which I mean, if you want something you have to work for it. Time and space will limit that as will the law of action and reaction. These limits are explained in Dharmic philosophy as Karma and Reincarnation, to explain this at a level which the mind can grasp.
Correct, at least a Jñani is free from future Karma, there is sanchita (Prarabdha) karma which is karma that is still left to be 'resolved'. There are different types of KarmaIs not a Jnani free from Karma?
So how could limitation restrict him?
Are you sure?The Jñani is capable of recognising "normal people" and the perceived limitations,
Yes. There are levels of perception (seeing), to understand Ramana Maharishi's response we must understand the level on which he replies....Are you sure?
I think Ramana Maharishi said that a Jnani sees everyone as a Jnani.
I think when you are all-knowing you would know if you are all-knowing or not.
