I can't understand half of what you wrote there...

If you are asking if a model with thresher that charges gains boosted damage rolls against all of the thresher targets, the answer is no, he only gains a boosted damage roll against his original charge target, all of the other damage rolls are unboosted.

To put it another way- you only get charge bonii/penalties against your charge target. Anyone else that you also happen to be attacking is treated as a normal attack.

I made the same mistake when I read E-butcher, since his normal attack is essentilally an aoe, too good to be true

No, its not essentially AoE. AoE is very specific game term in Warmachine. Its more proper to say its akin to a 360 degree Thresher whenever he makes a normal melee attack.
