Or, theoretically all? Or can some endospores live through the heat?

Fire out of a butane lighter or alcohol lamp burns at well above 250 degrees F, so it's pretty safe to assume that fire will kill just about anything that can fall on your needle, yes.

Yes. And you have more in the syringe.

Endospores are bacteria (typically in our pursuits, the digestive bacteria that break down the complex starches in the grain seed into usable sugars). They're not in your needle. Even if they were, getting the needle to hundreds of degrees would kill it.
