Spider Step
Your physical mastery grants you an impossible stride.
Prerequisites: Acrobatics 6 ranks, Climb 6 ranks, monk level 6th.
Benefit: As a move action, you can move up to half your slow fall distance (maximum 50 feet) across a wall or ceiling or across ropes, branches, or even water or other surfaces that cannot support your weight. You must reach a solid, level surface by the end of your turn or you will fall.
Would this feat allow the monk to cross difficult terrain?

In nearly every situation that I can imagine, half a monk's slow fall distance is going to be inferior in speed to half a monk's enhanced speed due to difficult terrain.
However, I believe the specific answer to your question is 'yes'.

Good Point!
And even more so when you consider that the Spider Step feat does not allow a double move.
Yes it does. You move action to move, then move action to move and get to a stable platform before the end of your turn -- when you would fall normally.
Please note however you could move to a position you know you will fall from, vital strike something then fall if you so choose.

Sure it does.
You take a move action.
Then you use your standard action to take ANOTHER move action (perhaps you didn't know you could do that).

Why not. using the feat is a move action and you need to End Your Turn on a level surface.
So double move action to a level surface, end your turn.
