Using the power does count as an action, if you had a duration or endless extra on it it would only need to be activated once then it would roll again on its own each round.
So yes Augmentor would need to declare multiple actions to punch and buff Weaksauce in the same round and would roll the smaller of two pools.

>> Because he has the range Capacity and Augment he could also cast "burning blade/arrow/bullet/fist" on someone else's weapon. Since there's no Flaw on "Fire Power" and it has the attacks quality he can also just shoot gouts of flame.
>>
>> Note how with the 8hd and Augment his fire miracle makes him an effective Kung fu assassin since he can always drop the extras and just add 8hd to his Brawl. That's why it's so expensive. If he wanted he could take 3 actions, lose 2hd and turn 2 of his buddies into Kung fu assassins as well by passing out 2hd to each of them and keeping 2 for himself, then rolling the remaining 3 dice.

>> Resolution for the above flurry would result in his speed being 2 (assuming he doesnt get more tens). So his buffed allies would either have to sacrifice initiative speed (lower their width to enjoy the benefits of his fiery damage boost) or declare multiple actions of their own which will cost them one of their hard dice. So it is awesome but has its limits.
