I'm hoping for an official answer to the pounce/rake question since the text for the abilities is unchanged: does a pouncing eidolon also get its rake attacks or do they only function during grapple(per the APG text, not the Bestiary)?
Also, it seems like a simple wording issue, but does an eidolon with the energy attack evolution do an additional 1d6 of the appropriate type or does it replace the existing attack damage? I ask because the wording omits the word "additional," and I could easily see either interpretation since one seems less useful than additional damage and stackable energy damage is potentially overpowered at higher levels with multiple attacks.

As for your first question, I don't know. I don't think anyone really does, but for now I would go with how it is written in the APG.
For your second question, as worded it would be RAW as replacing the damage but that does not seem to be intention here. In context it is clear that it is meant to add an additional 1d6 of that type.
