I am working out an Alchemist lvl 5 /Gunslinger lvl 5.
my question is does the add damages to my bombs like acid bomb transfer to the bullet I use with the explosive round discovery??
also when I shot an explosive round do I deal the damage from the bullet as well as the bomb or just the bomb?

yes, and both. I had a lot of fun playing a half-orc alchemist with exotic weapon proficiency (firearms) and explosive missile. Screw you, reload times, I have discoveries! The half-orc favored class bonus to bombs was nice, too. Immolation bomb is a fantastic discovery to get, also
Keep in mind that you can use magic bullets for that, also. It's really great if you're allowed to buy enchanted ammo in small quantities, so you can stock up on various baned bullets, holy ones, some different elemental types. Don't forget the specific bullets, like the burrowing or marker bullets
I am playing a halfling a little slow in speed but the ac and attack bonuses are nice. Having a gun really makes up for the small weapon problems as well. I really like this build.
not sure were to go with this build as well. I am liking a sniper or a tank like gunslinging character. it is so wide open.

Something I would suggest, if you plan on using Explosive missile as your main offensive option, I would go full alchemist. More bombs, more damage per bomb, higher level buffs, and more discoveries. You'll get an extra 2d6 damage per bomb and have 5 more per day, and access to the level 8 discoveries like Force Bomb (don't knock the change to d4's, not being resisted by anything makes it golden). It would require you taking a feat for the gun proficiency, but also consider that you'll be immune to poison
EDIT: Or just dip one level of gunslinger and take mysterious stranger
At this point I like the nimble and a few grit. the improved initive. I get from a few lvls of gunslinger. Though I think you are right from this piont out I think Alchemist the rest of the way and put a few extra feats in to extra bombs.
