Charging mounts while rider is not charging


Rules Questions

Dark Archive

So I came up with a few questions while developing a character concept. I was looking at the Mounted Skirmisher feat which reads:
If your mount moves its speed or less, you can still take a full-attack action.

I take it to understand that my mount can charge and make an attack at the end of its charge, and as long as my mount moves its speed or less, I can make a full-round attack action at the end of that charge. The rules for riding on a charging mount are as follows (as quoted from the d20pfsrd):
If your mount charges, you also take the AC penalty associated with a charge. If you make an attack at the end of the charge, you receive the bonus gained from the charge.

Note that the mounted charging rules do not say that the rider has to be charging to gain the pros and cons of a charge (namely the +2 to hit and -2 to ac). Here's my question: Would I, as the rider, gain the +2 to hit on all my attacks in my full-round attack action or only the first attack?

Here's a bonus question: If I were a cavalier and had the level 3 cavalier ability "Cavalier's Charge" Would I, as the rider, not get any penalties associated with a charge and gain the +4 to hit when my mount charges?
