So the house pays $10,000 to everyone who hasn't folded yet?

No, the person you’re replying to is just wrong. In a real casino the card would be burned and play would continue.

Unlikely; if it were lower stakes, maybe, but even high end poker houses are not such high margin enterprises that they can afford to comp $10k to an angry customer because of dealer error. Maybe some smaller comp, but not the whole pot.
