Questions regarding Mutagens and Beastmorph Alchemist

[Cryov]

I am about to do a campaign in a few days playing as goblin alchemist with the bestmorph archetype. I am fairly concerned about my mutagen usage but I've noticed some odd wording and was wanting some clarification.

"An alchemist can only maintain one dose of mutagen at a time—if he brews a second dose, any existing mutagen becomes inert. As with an extract or bomb, a mutagen that is not in an alchemist’s possession becomes inert until an alchemist picks it up again."

So this being said, Can I have more than one feral mutagen brewed but have it inert until the other one is used up? Or seeing how it says in possession, could I potentially give it to a teammate and have him hold on to the extra until I use it?

I did notice the infuse mutagen discovery but was wondering if that was meant to apply to other types of mutagens due to this wording in it.
"This allows an alchemist to create different types of mutagens and keep them handy for emergencies."
As a just in case he needs another type and has to switch it up.

Now for the second matter I was concerned about with a beastmorph alchemist.
I am getting some mixed readings from polymorph rules and beast shape spell.
All I really want to know is, can I get other abilities from the animal I choose outside of what the beast shape spell says?

Clarification here would be great! Just trying to get things straight before I run this character.

No you don't gain any abilities other than what the spell lays out for either the beastmorph or the beast shape spell. If you are asking this for the beastmorph you should be aware that you don't choose any specific animal with Beastform Mutagen. It uses the beast shape spells for what abilities you can pick but is different from the spell.
