So the female mite only has one male baby who's able to get his sisters pregnant before they're born?
Yes, they're pregnant before they're born. The male in some species dies just after being born, and in other survives for a day or two.
Why does the mother only eat one thrip egg and what does the egg do?
Because that's all she eats, and she lives for maybe 4 or 5 days before the whole process repeats. The egg is all the females can eat, the male doesn't eat anything before dying.
