Great question! The word "all" in this situation is used to mean "completely" or "extremely". Unlike "your hand's sweaty", saying "your hand's all sweaty" emphasizes that there is a lot of sweat on his hand, because it is completely sweaty. You can use "all" in similar contexts to have the same meaning. Ex: Don't walk inside, your shoes are all muddy. Ex: I can't see anything, my glasses are all dirty.
