I found a similar thread to this, but I wanted to clarify (because Weapon Finesse has to be applied to a specific attack). So, I am making a wizard with Weapon Finesse (touch) feat. What if I use a Wand of Chill Touch, which requires a melee touch attack. Would my feat still apply to that attack?
In the rules, you only need to use a wand in one hand. I'm assuming that you can just touch with the wand so I don't need another free hand to deliver the touch. Is this assumption correct?

First of all...
You are trained in using your agility in melee combat, as opposed to brute strength.
Benefit: With a light weapon, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.
Special: Natural weapons are considered light weapons.
Nothing in the feat says it only applies to one chosen weapon. It works for all weapons that fit the description.
Secondly...
To activate a wand, a character must hold it in hand (or whatever passes for a hand, for nonhumanoid creatures) and point it in the general direction of the target or area. A wand may be used while grappling or while swallowed whole.
There's no language in the rules that says whether a wand can or cannot be used to deliver its own touch spell. But it seems a pretty reasonable thing, and I think most GMs would let it work. In fact, that's usually how I hear it described in play, and I've never heard a GM say otherwise.
