Does everyone who returns to their job after furlough get £1000?

No

Your employer does, if you are still in employment at the end of January 2021

Ye this is a business promotion, there's no requirement for the employer to pass this on to you. Furlough was also a business promotion.

Only if everyone that has continued to work full time throughout gets £10,000

Not only no requirement, there is absolutely no intention for that to happen; it is not the point at all.

No. The payment is an incentive to employers to retain people.
As an employee, you get to keep your job.
Your employer gets £1,000 in January if you are still employed and have been employed and earning over the minimum required, over the next 6 months. Since they will have had to pay more than £1,000 in wages over the necessary time to quality, it won't give employers an incentive to keep someone on where there is no job, but may mean that they are more willing to keep someone on where the level of work has diminished, rather than cutting hours or making people redundant
