: Mitat Beit Din, he gets also Karet.  My questions are:
: 3. Is it not contcredit the rule of not having two punishments on one
: aveira?

Kereis isn't included in that rule, as it's not meted out by BD.

Rashi would have to be discussing different cases, since leshitaso
kareis is physical death. Misas BD with eidus, hasra'ah, etc.. and 
kereis if not.

As already noted, this is comprehensible according to the Rambam as
refering to a single judgment -- BD kills him, and then his soul ceases
to exist. Venikhresah hanefesh hahi mei'ameha is from the "am" for which
the mishnah says "Kol Yisrael yeish lahem cheileq le'olam haba".
