To is the correct ans, with is used for instruments eg; with pencil, with knife. Here intents and purposes are not consider to be instruments. Intents mean yours willingness and purposes means something you needs to achieve for a definite reason. So they are not instruments. Hence to is the correct answer.

Well there is this idiom, to all intents and purposes, which means for every functional purpose; in every practical sense; in every important respect; practically speaking.
Its alternative term is for all intents and purposes.

To all intent and purposes means in all important respect, which is the actual meaning of the sentence. I think the answer should be to.
