I believe you are correct about double and triple strike, but I think a Hydra can counterstrike two times against a Battle Fury melee opponent, which would be the additional attack you mentioned. The reason is that it is a separate attack not a continuation like double/triplestrike.
That is true.
Always keep in mind the difference between Multiple Attacks (which is just one out of the 8 steps of an attack) and more than one attack action (ie, Battle Fury).
If you perform a Doublestrike (one attack action, two strikes), you only gain +Melee and Vampiric for the first strike, and your opponent only gets one opportunity to Counterstrike.
On the other hand, if you perform two attack actions in a round (Battle Fury), you gain +Melee and Vampiric twice, and your opponent gets two opportunities to Counterstrike.
