The mouser can move within her foe’s space and leave the foe’s space unhindered and without provoking attacks of opportunity, but if the foe attempts to move to a position where the mouser is no longer in its space, the movement provokes an attack of opportunity from the mouser.
When a foe provokes an attack of opportunity due to moving through your adjacent squares, you can make a combat maneuver check as your attack of opportunity. If successful, the enemy cannot move for the rest of his turn. An enemy can still take the rest of his action, but cannot move. This feat also applies to any creature that attempts to move from a square that is adjacent to you if such movement provokes an attack of opportunity.
If a Mouser has Stand Still, can he use it to prevent his share-square buddy from leaving? Stand Still specifies "moving through your adjacent squares", but is it RAW to interpret adjacent as including your own square? (I primarily play PFS, so I'm looking for opinions on RAW, not "I'd allow it in my game".)
No.

No. An adjacent uses the english definition since there is no game definition. Adjacent is "next to", not "same".

However, if your opponent is size Large, they will also occupy adjacent squares to your occupied square, and when they move, they will move through one of your adjacent squares. And that movement will trigger the AoO.
But if they are only taking a 5ft. step, the adjacent square movement won't provoke and AoO, even though the attempt to leave your square will. But you couldn't use stand still on them at that point.

Taking a 5' step doesn't provoke any AoO, ever.
Taking a 5' foot step away from the square which the monster shares with the Mouser would provoke an AOO from the Mouser's special class ability. The rule with 5' steps is that they do not provoke the normal 'leaving a threatened' area rule, not make you immune to all AOOs based on any form of movement.

Incorrect. Under standard actions/attack/melee attacks
"Opponents within 5 feet are considered adjacent to you."Sharing a square, the distance is 0. 0 is within 5 feet, and is thus, adjacent.

Bah. I looked for that rule, but I could not find it, so I thought I was misremembering it.

Joeyfixit, I think this feat makes your point more clearly (since it is explicitly showing a 5-foot step can provoke an AoO.)
