I have some questions regarding the Alchemist Archetype Crypt Breaker from the book Inner Sea Magic.

For standard Alchemists, the regular Bomb "On a direct hit, an alchemist’s bomb inflicts 1d6 points of fire damage + additional damage equal to the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier."

The alkahest bombs are said to "deal acid damage instead of fire damage." Further quotes: "Against constructs and corporeal undead, alkahest bombs deal 1d8 points of damage, plus 1d8 points of damage for every odd-numbered level instead of 1d6."

"Against all other creatures, alkahest bombs deal 1d4 points of damage, plus 1d4 points of force damage for every odd-numbered level."

"This ability otherwise functions as and replaces the standard alchemist bomb class feature."

I read this as, the alkahest bombs only inflict acid damage vs. corporeal undead and constructs. Against everyone and everything else, it's 1d4 points of force damage, plus an additional 1d4 points of force damage for every odd-numbered level. Does this seem correct?

Further, the "otherwise functions as and replaces" makes me think that the additional damage equal to the Alchemist's Intelligence modifier is added in for alkahest bombs but again, is that right?

Finally - I am pretty new to Pathfinder and just now considering the Pathfinder Society organized play. Is this archetype a legal character class for Pathfinder Society play?

Thanks!
