what other "... all pertinent decisions ... " do we have?

does Caster Level or Manifester Level count as "... all pertinent decisions ... "?

So, if I understand it well, than in case of my tiger charging an opponent using Pounce (Ex), my tiger has
following attack routine :

1 bite - as part of a full attack action (f.e. roll - hit)
1st claw - as part of a full attack action (f.e. roll - hit)
2nd claw - as part of a full attack action (f.e. roll - fail)
1st rake - as part of a full attack action (f.e. roll - hit
2nd rake - as part of a full attack action (f.e. roll - fail)

So then, If a tiger succesfully hits with f.e. bite and 1st claw it initiates Grab (Ex) as a free action for both succesfull hits?
Which attempt goes first?

Suppose it doesnt matter,

So then, If a tiger chooses to Grab check first with f.e. bite and he is succesfull, than
both attacker and defender gets grappled condition,

It doesnt stop full attack, yes? ...

So, the second Grab check with 1st claw is unnecessary, when a tiger hits with a bite,

So If tiger doesnt succesfully made Grab check with a bite, than it still can make Grab check with the 1st claw, yes?

So what If my tiger rolled first Grab check for the 1st claw, which was succesfull,
can still my tiger roll for Grab check with his bite?

Why do I ask, because for tiger is better to Grab and Hold with bite than claw, it can do more damage in the 2nd rd ... or
it doesnt matter because he can make grapple damage option to do damage with natural attack ... lets say his bite ...

We follow,

My tiger and opponent have grappled condition

Grappled opponent as a secondary grappler decides to make full attack with a dagger he is holding

ok

2nd round

My little tiger as a primary grappler uses his standard action to maintain grapple, and it succeeds ! (combat maneuver check - roll - hit)

It means that my tiger deals automatic damage with bite, the attack with which he succesfully made Grab in the first round,

and as a part of a standard action it chooses .... ehm ... lets say ... damage option .. and it deals damage with 1st claw or 2nd claw,
doesnt matter, they are the same

and ...

he has the Rake (Ex) ability as well ..

so

Do I have to roll rake attacks as a separate attack rolls, because rake attacks are special option in grapple for tigers
(in addition to those mentioned in Core rulebook under Grapple?)

or

The rake attacks are part of grapple damage option as it says :

Damage: You can inflict damage to your target equal to your unarmed strike, a NATURAL ATTACK,
or an attack made with armor spikes or a light or one-handed weapon.

... Rake attacks are natural attacks

I am confused, and we need official Paizo answer, there are hundreds of threads discussing this matter,
and every is answered in different style ...
