Too powerful. That way a single tank could potentially put multiple detachments with poor morale on fall back orders. Imagine a single Leman Russ putting a whole Ork clan on fall back orders...

Subsequent CCs (with other detachments, that is) are entirely "new" CCs. Or did you mean other models of the detachment being overrun? Each model after the first gets the bonus as normal.

Good question. I'd just let them charge. Overrunning infantry isn't exactly risk free. Other alternative would be that they can't charge and must let the vehicle pass instead.
