How soon before the new stuff starts showing up in PFS scenarios?
In all of our products, including PFS, you might start seeing Bestiary 4 monsters slipping in a month to two prior to it's release--but they'll have to use complete stat blocks (instead of the quick Bestiary reference notes) until the book's release. Since that's not a terribly economical use of space, we usually limit those or keep them attached to characters getting full write-ups anyway like that one manical outer dragon that's getting stated up in Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Mythic Realms.
So you might see a preview in a PFS scenario later this year, but no promises.

I thought Bestiaries were not supposed to include playable race options. Am I mistaken or understanding this incorrectly?
You would be mistaken... So far every Bestiary has included a few playable races.

It's true! We've had quite a few CR 1/2, player friendly races out there in the past and the hits just keep on coming. There will be a few familiar ones finally slipping into the limelight this time around too.

I'm seeing two nosferatu. (Nosferati? Nosferatodes?)
We just ran into this for the first time yesterday... We hate irregular plurals, so you might be seeing "nosferatus," but we've got kaiju in here as well, and "kaijus" doesn't seem right at all. Ooof. Well, we'll got a few weeks before the editing starts to figure it all out!

As an old-school V:tM player, I vote that the plural of "Nosferatu" is "Nosferatu". Ex: "There are a half-dozen nosferatu about to stomp your sorry butt into next week."

Well that's Japanese, and English usage of Japanese is usually to respect the Japanese plural form -- which is either no change, or appending -tachi, but that seems even weirder, so just kaiju.
No idea how Slavic languages handle things.

Darn, I was hoping for a NPC Codex 2 with more monster support. I mean, I like having PC race opponents but I'd like more pregenerated orcs, goblins, gnolls, and the like.
And with three Bestiaries, and the Tome of Horror I don't need another Bestiary.
Still... having nosferatu would be cool. It sounds like they're taking the best of the AP monsters and compiling them for this product. Nice, for those of us who don't always get the APs.
And I suppose Mythic opponents are missing in the game and truly high level opponents are needed.
And Pickled Punks remind me of the Carnival from the Ravenloft setting, although these will likely be a little different.
