Tiger Pounce lets you dump the PA penalty into your AC instead of your attack bonus.
Furious Focus lets you ignore the PA penalty for your first attack.
Would using Tiger Pounce render Furious Focus completely useless or would FF still have some effect, like having full AC for the first attack made against you?

You have to use a 2h weapon (or 1h weapon in two hands) to use Furious Focus. Tiger Pounce doesn't specifically say it only works with an Unarmed Strike, but since the entire feat tree and all bonuses regarding it relate to unarmed strikes I think it's fair to say that it was an oversight that will probably be errata'd.

TP would render FF useless. The reason is the remaining attacks after the first still benefit from TP. By the time your go is over the penalty from TP is already in affect.
To be honest once you begin to charge TP should be activated so even if you take an AoO the penalty to AC is already in affect. Some abilities just don't work will together.

Yeah, none of the style feats are really that appealing to a 2H-er but at the same time, my DM allowed ToB so going Unarmed Fighter gives me IUS which can be used to take Snap Kick for a free extra attack. It's either that or find some other flavour of fighter, or another martial class which makes for a good 1 level dip, to take as my second martial level before I go back to warblade having prevented the stance pitfall.

I had figured it'd work out that way but wanted to make sure.
