The English verb "to blame" is a verb+noun phrase in Spanish: echarle la culpa (a alguien). Literally, to throw the blame on someone.
so in this way, tu echas la culpa ( a alguien), right? ok, maybe should be "culpa de todo te echan/ echante", ? I am sorry, my gramar knowledge is very limited, perdoname.

Yes, your first version is correct. Echan is the third-person plural (they blame).
culpa de todo te echan
This sentence is just the other way round, so to speak:
te echan la culpa de todo
This would be a more logical word order.
one colomibia friend told me that people in colombia seldom use the word "cacho" , even in latin american.

echar means to throw something but i wouldn't translate it so literally. I would say the phrase means "I see that they blame you of everything".
This has been explained at length in yesterday's thread.
You're right, "echar" means to throw, ie: in this context, to throw/put the blame on someone.
"cachar" means to understand/to get it, it is a verb widely used in Chile.
