You may use global variable "$Component" to access apex component in javascript. More abount component
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/pages_best_practices_accessing_id.htm

A sample code for your reference as per your requirement
  
<apex:page standardController="Account">
<script type="text/javascript">
  function makeSelect(myselection, cbid)
  {
    document.getElementById(cbid).checked = myselection.checked;
  }
</script>
<apex:form>
   <apex:pageBlock title="Hello {!$User.FirstName}!">
      You are viewing the {!account.name} account.
   </apex:pageBlock>
   <apex:pageBlock title="Contacts">
      <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!account.Contacts}" var="contact">
        <apex:column> <apex:inputCheckbox id="firstcheckbox" onclick="makeSelect(this,'{!$Component.secondcheckbox}')">FirstCheckbox </apex:inputCheckbox></apex:column>
        <apex:column> <apex:inputCheckbox id="secondcheckbox">secondcheckbox</apex:inputCheckbox>
         {!contact.name}</apex:column>
      </apex:pageBlockTable>
   </apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

I am passing 2nd checkbox's id "secondcheckbox" to JS method on onClick event.To see the working of page you need to pass an accountid which have atleas 1 contact. for eg https://<serverURL>/apex/Checkbox?id=00120000018cZJw

To do this without refreshes you would probably have to use javascript.  Something like an on change event that then updated the other checkbox.
