We have a number of ways to replace the Str modifier for damage: Dervish Dance, Fencing Grace, Slashing Grace, Finesse Training, and Elven Battle Focus. They all have similar wording in their descriptions; something along the lines of "You add/use your _ modifier instead of your _ modifier." I think it is reasonable to assume that they all follow the same basic rules regarding the 1.5x, 1x, 0.5x issue.
The first three options have extra language which limits them to one-handed fighting styles so they aren't helpful here. The question of whether they would give you 1.5x or 0.5x is meaningless. Finesse Training is the only other way to replace Str while fighting two-handed or with two weapons. Since it does still follow the 1.5x, 1x, 0.5x rules, I assume that Elven Battle Focus would work the same way.
No. It's only 1x INT.
I wonder, what build would profit from INT 2 dam? you still need an attribute for attacking, don't you?
Scimitar Kensai UMDing a Wand of Flame Blade because it attacks touch AC!?
No. It's only 1x INT.
More arguments, less assertions, pls.

Finesse lore warden fighter with an Elven branch spear would get a lot of use out of the style, as would finesse magi and or investigators.
It's 1.5/1/0.5. The Unchained Rogue FAQ strongly suggests that all "replace X modifier with Y modifier" still follow rules that modify how and when X modifier applies.

How about an assertive argument then?
I treat any 'ability swap' in exactly the same way as the original ability unless it tells me not to.
