The thrall can only take 1 damage per attack, unless the attack or effect targets multiple 5ftx5ft areas. The spell also cannot be targeted in the middle, unless from high ground. . If it does, then for each area it affects, the horde automatically loses 1 hit point. 


Actions to make a thrall do actions take 1 more action. The horde then does two additional of the same action, accounting for MAP if its a attack. If it requires a saving throw, the DC is reduced by 5 but they are targeted by the same effect thrice.  Thus if you ask the horde to do an action, it does three of it and able to target separate people, suffering the penalty.
