It does say one attack, so it would only be one of the claws if you were to use it on one of those attacks.
Also, you can't take an evolution more than once unless otherwise specified, which reach does not, so no pair of reach claws.
Yup, that'd be your best bet! Mix with push and/or trip for extra AoO hilarity! Watch out for pounce though. You have to charge to the nearest square that you can attack the target, so mixed reach attacks don't work too well with pounce.
Pounce seems far too situational. If you have a clear path and if you're ok sacrificing AC. Getting even that first one can be challenging in a crowded battlefield.
Our eidolon is usually the first one in, so Pounce is pretty much always useful. With the Summoner sending him off with the Orcish Bloodline power Touch of Rage to do it, even better.
I've never known having an attack with reach could keep you from pouncing, though. Doesn't sound right to me.

Every eidolon ever published by Paizo that has that evolution applies it to ALL natural attacks of the same type. This is most readily apparent in Ultimate Magic's sample eidolons.
The eidolon looks like an aberrant aquatic creature such as an aboleth.
25 points: Base Form aquatic; Primary Evolutions reach (tentacles), tentacles (2); Secondary Evolutions basic magic (ghost sound), huge, large, major magic (minor image), minor magic (silent image), tentacles (2), ultimate magic (major image).
Note that this sample STRAIGHT FROM PAIZO has multiple tentacles as well as an evolution that reads "reach (tentacle)." Please note the plurality.
If it's good enough for Paizo, it's good enough for me.
