Not sure if your post is trolling, a serious question, or lack of knowledge. The questions really have little bearing on the question at hand.
In AC, the net effective drift velocity is 0, so in a balanced AC line, without DC offset, electrons never move far from where they started, in bulk at least. That does not mean stochastically that some electrons couldn't ... except they don't jump transformers of course.
They do move back and force within fuses though :-) ... both directions in any given fuse.
"Charge" is simply an excess of charge carriers, either positive or negative, though really you don't collect positive charge carriers so much as deplete negative charge carriers. That does not play in a transformer so I am not sure what actual question you are trying to ask here .... I am giving YOU the benefit of the doubt you have some idea of how a transformer operates?

Would you please explain how the electrons in the transmission lines ever leave a generating power plant. Do the same electrons ever reach our homes?
Do the electrons in the primary winding side of an isolation type power transformer pass from the primary winding to the secondary winding? How about the charge?
