i had a Witch dominate naval fleet battles by using a 2nd level summon swarm spell a bunch of times to summoner 25 foot diameter cubes of butterflies, just to arm those trillions of butterflies with grenades and send them suicide bombing enemy ships. most enemy crews don't expect to be suicide bombed by trillions of butterflies, because of the sheer number you can fit inside a 25 foot diameter cube. let alone disperse the swarms into smaller suicide bombing groups to deal massive damage, literally had no fleet battles because the enemy fleet died long before they could get in firing range because of butterflies.

..wow...this must be the most extreme ignorance and disregard for the rules I have read on the forums in a long time.

No problem. I would say that figuring out skill ranks from stat blocks (for monster/NPC advancement or customization) is by far the most annoying thing that exists in all of pahtfinder!

This is not really a question about the action type. The description clearly states that it is a move action.
But since teleport does not end you turn either, I do not see why Time Hop should do it. Your GM is thinking of dimension door, which does end your turn and where dimensional agility is useful (that is also the spell referenced in dimensional agility, not teleport).

Slams are bludgeoning. Tail slaps go into this category as well. Tentacles too, I think.

Bite is piercing, as would being stung.

Claws are slashing, can be argued to also be piercing.

According to the bestiary:

Bite = B/P/S
Claw = B/S
Gore = P
Hoof/Tentacle/Wing = B
Pincers/Tail Slap = B
Slam = B
Sting = P
Talon = S

In addition it states:

The Damage Type column refers to the sort of damage that the natural attack typically deals: bludgeoning (B), slashing (S), or piercing (P). Some attacks deal damage of more than one type, depending on the creature. In such cases all the damage is considered to be of all listed types for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

So its probably up to the DM to decide whether a specific creature's bite really does all three types of damage or just one.
