Any Western historical examples of exterminating the whole family as punishment? I've mostly heard this shit from East Asian history.

Yes? I'ts pretty common in antiquity, became less prominent post-enlightenment, and in the medieval era it depends on how prominent the family is?

Do a little research.

Montforts in England after the second Baron's War

...

>The Reynes took refuge at Castamere, and Reynard led all his men down into the mines of the castle. Ser Tywin Lannister arrived at Castamere three days after the burning of Tarbeck Hall,[1] and according to a semi-canon source, his host had doubled in size with the arrival of forces from Lords Banefort, Plumm, Stackspear, and Westerling.[2] Reynard believed he held the advantage, as Tywin could not possibly fight his way inside the mines. When his people were all inside, Reynard sent terms for surrender to Tywin, stating that the Reynes would be loyal vassals in return for Tywin's brothers serving within Castamere as hostages.[1][2]

>Tywin ignored Reynard's terms and instead ordered his men to seal the entrances of the mines. When all entrances were blocked with tons of stone, earth, and soil, leaving no way in or out, Tywin had his men dam a nearby stream and divert it to the nearest mine entrance. Water easily found its way though the tiny gaps in the rubble that blocked the mouth of the entrance. Lannister men stationed at the most distant entrances claimed they could hear faint screaming and shouting, but by daybreak, there was nothing but silence. None of the three hundred men, women, and children within ever emerged from the mines again. As commanded by Tywin, the castle on the surface was set ablaze.[1]

Tywin did nothing wrong

It really depends on how important they were. Anyone with noble blood would be 100% slaughtered because they could have blood rights to something in the future and that would be a problem.

The other 99% of society didn't have such a thing, so they were usually just enslaved or put into indentured servitude.

>Montforts in England
I don't think they were

That being said Tywin is most likely based on Edward I who crushed Simon de Montfort
