All right, so after the growth domain I decided the Fighter X / Inquisitor 1 "growth polearm" fighter would be fun to play. Here is my planned feat setup:
1st (Human Fighter): Weapon Focus (Glaive), Dodge, Combat Reflexes
2nd (inquis) - Plant (growth) domain
3rd: Combat Expertise, Mobility
5th: Spring Attack, Whirlwind Attack
6th: Weapon Spec
(If it matters, Str 18 Int 14 Wis 12 Dex 14 Con 12 Chr 7)
Idea obviously will be to grow my size instantly and whirlwind everyone within 15 feat (including adjacent thanks to Polearm fighter).
So I was thinking about what to do after... starting to take disruptive came to mind, but then I encounter Hamutula Strike.
Basically with 3 feats (IUS, Improved Grapple, Hamutula Strike), I can set up such that, when I stab someone, we grapple. This feat is legal in PFS, where thus charActer is designed for.
Now my question comes in with the Strike + Whirlwind. Do I get to attemp to grapple everyone struck, or once it gets one are we grappled and "done"? What is the timing on immediate vs finishing my whirlwind?

Not sure were this Feat is coming from. If you're asking a question on ruling you should give citation so people can review the material. If you just want opinions then I would say no the feat doesn't function like that. You can only gain 1 grapple... and if you do the whirlwind stops. But if I can read the feat then maybe it is an option.

Sure; or Ripsaw Glaive (not sure if that is a legal weapon, but would probably be worth the weapon focus for proficiency, it's effectively already weapon specialized if you have prep time... heck switch to 1/2 elf and just use the alt option to gain familiarity in it and the extra hp for inquisitor level).
You would take a -4 to grapple for not have 2 hands free after the initial grapple?
You would also gain the grappled condition (-4 dex, -2 on attacks and combat maneuvers)
Note also that you can't use a 2-handed weapon while grappling.
The whole idea is making my head hurt...

Read the feat. It allows an exception.

It says you can deal damage with the weapon with a successful grapple check. It doesn't say anything about being able to attack other foes outside of the grapple. Or am I misreading it?
"While the opponent is impaled, as an attack action you may make a grapple check on your turn at a –4 penalty to damage the opponent with your weapon, even if your weapon cannot normally be used in a grapple."

When you are grappling, nothing prevents you from attacking foes outside of the grapple. (Maintaining a grapple may consume your action, which may remove attacking as an option, because you're out of actions with which you can attack.)
My interpretation of how this scenario would play out: it wouldn't. Whirwind Attack has that line about not getting extra attacks; I think the second sentence of Hamatula Strike disqualifies it from comboing with Whirlwind Attack.
