A tau hero class space ship has 2 pinpoint attacks. The rules state that I can choose any target WE I want.

4.3.4 Pin-Point Attacks
Pin-point attacks may be made on enemy war engines (war engines are the only things big enough for a spacecraft to pick out on the battlefield). Pick a target anywhere on the table and then attack it with any pin- point attacks the spacecraft may have. You may target different war engines with each pin-point attack if you wish, or concentrate all of the attacks on a single target. Note that you do not need to record the co-ordinates of pin- point attacks.
How is this handled in relation to formations of several war engines (like for instance a IG Super heavy tank company)?
1) The way I understand the rules means I could choose two different WE from the same formation?. Thereby bypassing the ordinary rules for shooting at a formation of WE (eg. closest is hit first, second attack would hit the same target if the first shot doesn't allocate enough damage points worth of damage). Is my interpretation correct?
2) Are the two pin point attacks counted as two separate occansion when shooting at a formation of several WE? I mean if I were to shoot at two WE from different formations then I'd get to place 1 BM for coming under fire on each formations/WE. But if I fire at two WE from the same formation would I then place 2 BM on the formation for coming under fire (counting the pin points as two separate attacks) or would I place just the 1 BM.
The latter option would of course make for a slight disadvantage compared to choosing two WE from different formations as targets.
