1) can you cast this on a familiar at all? If no ignore the rest.
2) if you cast it on your monkey familiar he gains speech and loses climb speed (though can still use the skill just like the master)?
Is that about it?
1) No, familiars are treated as magical beasts for effects that depend on type, and anthropomorphic spell only works on animals.
That's unfortunate. Alright. Thank you.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? If you want a talking money familiar, how about tongues?
I want speech in order to use wands in a non-PFS game. Tongues should do the trick. Thanks.
The Master of the familiar can.
How so?

I believe he means because of this

The witch may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her familiar (as a touch spell) instead of on herself. A witch may cast spells on her familiar even if the spells do not normally affect creatures of the familiar's type (magical beast).

Aha! fantastic. Thank you.
I thought that only applied to Personal spells.
It's two distinct sentences. Note the second doesn't say "these spells" or anything like it. I never noticed before.

I think I would personally still just use the Tongues thing though. :P

Tongues is better except for the duration. The monkey could act as a translator! Lol
Alter Self would work better.
Familiar? What Familiar? This is my Cabin boy, Jitters.... Ignore his Monkey like chatter please.
Alter Self would work better.
Duration is way to short for my needs. However definitely a good (aka: cheaper) candidate for a custom magic item.

Poof!
Now you got a 'Human' Familiar all day!
What are your needs?
Basically long term speech. The rest falls into place after that.
- Eat your Familiar.
- Replace your Familiar with one that can talk: a Raven, Parrot or Thrush.
- Profit!

I'm already on the second one. Lol. The first was dissolved by a slime while scouting.
