Aside from the bonuses mentioned in the feat, does Monkey Shine allow for flanking bonuses while occupying a foe's square? Does this change if they are larger than you (that is, can you flank a square within an opponents square)?

No, flanking only works if you're on opposite edges or corners. If you're in his square, you're not in the opposite edge or corner.

Don't think I wasn't freaked out at first to see a topic I had apparently posted without realizing. This is honestly the first time I've seen someone else use this avatar.

I've seen you around a lot. We've commented on the same thread before. Should I change it?
Further question: While inside a foe's square, if that foe's square could be flanking another foe with another PC, does it flank?
Example: I stunning fist mister evil magus and enter his square. Next to mister evil magus is miss scary fighter. My buddy the ranger is on the other side of miss scary fighter. Is the fighter flanked?
And further, this is just me parsing the sentence too fine, but does the dodge bonus to AC only apply to the foe who's square you occupy or is it a blanket bonus and you only get plus for on attack rolls against your new close friend?
Weirdo

You still threaten miss scary fighter and you and the ranger are on opposite squares, so yes.

I think this is too-fine parsing and both benefits apply only against the opponent whose square you share. I'm not 100% sure, though.

No, don't be silly--there's a limited number of avatars, I just thought nobody else liked this one. Crap, look at how many crows, rats holding books, and that atog-looking monster thing there are. You're supposed to repeat avatars.

I'm pretty sure you get +4 to AC in general, and +4 to attacks specifically against that foe.
The evidence is both the sentence structure itself and the fact that an AC bonus "against that opponent" doesn't really make much sense in game terms.

Well, it's hard to attack someone who is that close up in your personal space, so I can see the bonus applying to only the single opponent.
On the other hand, it's also reasonable to read it as a form of cover that the opponent is providing against all attacks.
