Do they take twice the amount of damage?

No, they don't. - check the last sentence in the Soul Blaze rule. That's unfortunate for those of us who like barbequed xenos, but alas.

I have another soul blaze question. What if you soul blaze something but then said unit moves into ongoing reserves? Do you still roll for the SB while they sit in reserves? Does it go out?

There is no rule that says special rules stop working when in reserve. Mostly what stops things from happening in reserves is that you cannot draw line of sight or measure any ranges, but things like Soul Blaze (where the wounds are randomly allocated), or It Will Not Die (where there is no range to measure) should work fine in reserve.

That said, there have been many arguments about such things as Vector Strikeing a unit as part of a move going off the board, and a recent topic about using Wargear whilst in reserve (http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/643933.page) where being "in play" was required to affect things in play (even if I don't agree with that logic, here we are having something "out of play" affect something "out of play").
