The Greater Feint feat in CATR says:

You may make the feint in combat action against every foe that you threaten. You make a single check opposed by their individual sense motive rolls. Any target who fails is denied its dodge bonus to its defense value (if any) for the next melee attack you make against it. This attack must be made on or before your next turn.

Does this mean that you get to attack every opponent taht you threaten, regardless of the number of attacks you can make per turn? ie:

A soldier with BAB +9 (requisite for GF) has 3 attacks fighting with two swords, and he is being surrounded by 5 opponents, all in a position to be threatened by him. Lets suppose he succedes over all his opponents in his bluff check, thus attacking one of his opponents the same round he feints, because the feint was made as a move action. The next round he has 3 attacks, but he is threathening 4 more opponents. Does he get to attack all 4 remaining opponents? Or does he loose the chance to attack one of the opponents because he can only make 3 attacks per round?

A similar question applies to Striking Cobra, regarding the number of attacks you can make if the feint check succedds over the sense motive checks.
 
Your second example is correct. The soldier only gets three attacks in the second round.

Using Greater Feint is a move action (I'm assuming Improved Feint still applies). Your first attack against each opponent on the round you use it and the following round catch them flatfooted (usually DV10 and you get sneak attack damage).

It does not give you extra attacks, but you can usually slip a single Attack (on the round you Feint) and a Full Attack (the following round) in while it is in effect.

Striking Cobra works the same way. It does not give extra attacks, it just creates a surprise round when there normally shouldn't be one. (I think your allies should have to make a Sense Motive check to act in the surprise round as well.)
