Variations in C14 input
There are a number of things which influence the rate of C14 production. Raw (uncorrected C14 dates) vary from "true" dates by differing amounts at different times in the past. A supernova might well produce some of this kind of variation.
However, these variations have been determined by direct measurments through other means. The variations only amount to a few percent anyway so uncorrected dates are "close enough" for many purposes (of course not close enough for archeological use -- in fact, they want dates more accurate than C14 can usually manage).
If you go back to the opening posts of one of the thread mentioned in the OP (opening post). You will find a mention of Lake Suigetsu. Look there for one (of many) examples of correcting the raw C14 dates.

Young or Old
Secondly, how do all dating methods agree with a young earth age?
One guesses you meant old earth age but some might read you literally.

Unlimited freedom and yet unsuccessful
Relative/Simple, you've been allowed to make up whatever utter nonsense you feel like and yet, still, with all that, you are unable to actually explain the patterns that have been pointed out to you.
You simple say: "It changed and the old way made it look like that". But when asked "Just what changes made it look this way, how did the various things change to make the pattern stay consistent across the change." you offere no explanation what so ever.
With freedom to magic up any silly explanation you are still unable to explain anything at all.
It all boils down to: God did something that I have no clue about and the result is that the only rational conclusion one can come to after looking at what He did is that the earth is OLD.
However, that isn't the right answer so He is a power abusing liar. This is the only thing that you allow anyone to conclude. I think that many Christians would not appreciate you calling their God a liar.
