If a character is a level 19 fighter + level 1 Softstrike Monk and is also a VMC cavalier (order of the hammer), is the order of the hammer unarmed strike damage affected by the softstrike "nonlethal strikes" ability?

...the cavalier’s unarmed strikes deal more nonlethal damage than usual; she is treated as having a number of monk levels equal to her cavalier level for the purpose of determining how much nonlethal damage her unarmed strikes deal.

A softstrike monk focuses on blows that do not inflict deadly harm. When a softstrike monk deals nonlethal damage with his unarmed strikes, his monk level is treated as 4 levels higher for the purposes of determining the damage he deals (to a maximum of 4d8 at 20th level for a Medium monk).

The serial killer vigilante has [quoute]Her hidden strike is considered equivalent to a sneak attack with the same number of dice for the purpose of meeting prerequisites or using abilities that depend on sneak attack.

Does this include effects that change the dice size of sneak attack, from effects like the Extreme Prejudice feat, the Knifemaster rogue sneak stab, the skulling slayer bold strike or the waylayer ambuscading sneak attack?

How does that work when attacking a dex denied opponent?

Does a huge creature with all of the shikigami style feats deal damage as if three sizes larger, or is the damage capped at two sizes larger because there is no size bigger than colossal in pathfinder rules?*

*I assume theres nothing bigger than colossal in pathfinder anyway?

I'm trying to find something official on this or as close to it because I'm stumped.

"You have oversized limbs, allowing you to use Large weapons without penalty."

There have been a few discussions about this ability, but i'm a bit confused as to how it works and by the look of the threads i've seen so were others. What are the most "official" readings of how this ability works, specifically in regards to these questions:

1: Does this let a medium sized tiefling wield a large greataxe? Or just a large one-handed weapon in two hands without penalty? (A or B)

2: Does this let a small tiefling wield a large greataxe, a medium greataxe, a large one-handed weapon in two hands without penalty or a medium one-handed weapon in two hands without penalty? (A, B, C or D)

3: If the tiefling is a Titan Mauler or a Titan Fighter do the class abilities overlap with this trait, do they apply to weapons the next size up (Huge Sized), or something else? (A, B or C)

4: If the tiefling is affected by something that increases their size (such as a version of an enlarge person effect that works for tieflings), do they still ignore penalties with the resized weapon or not? (A or B)

Any staff quotes, faqs I've missed or anything official that relates to these questions will help a lot to support your opinions. I know its just a small ability in a supplement product but I'd like to run it properly. I'd accept author intent too if anyone has it.

What are the best ways to get the instant enemy spell as a hateful rager barbarian? (Preferably still as a swift action)

Alternatively, is there something similar I can get that does the same thing to get my highest favored enemy bonus against a different target?

(Im ok with up to a three level dip into another class if its absolutely needed, but would prefer not.)

I know nothing about scrolls potions staves wands and stuff.

Any help welcome.
