White Haired Witch and strength mods / Increasing lance size


Rules Questions

First I wanted to know about what happens when you gain an effect on a attack that would allow you to use 1.5 times your stength modifer (or 2 times, or your full strengh mod) to damage, if the attack wouldnt originaly get a strength mododifier to damage. The specific case were this came up was when i was trying to multiclass my white haired witch, who gains a natural attack with her hair that does 1d4+int for damage (Full Wording), and the monk, either vannila with Flurry of Blows that states any attack with a Flurry of blows uses full strength mod (Full Wording),or using the Master of Many styles and using Dragon style (Full Wording),and Of course using Feral Combat Training(Full Wording). Because it does not say in the wording of the white haired witch that for the purposes of attacking with the white hair int replaces strengh ( or Damage= Str mod + Dice wherein str = int) but instead as, by default in this atack you use inteligence mod and the damage die for damage but you dont get your strength mod to damage(or damage = int mod + dice ). Wich leads to interesting scenarios like how you still need strength to hit with your hair. It is my best guese this is not RAI but definetly RAW. With Flurry of Blows, that alters the equation by making your attacks always use your full strength mod that would not be a problem with the first model but with the latter it translates into getting extra damage, the same is with Dragon Style. I just wanted to see if my logic was correct in this scenario.
Secondly I wanted to know how the ability of both the lance and katana to be wielded as a one handed weapon when certain criteria are met scales with the weapon increasing in size with the description of the lance stating that when mounted you can wield it in one hand while the latter states to use it as a one handed wepon you need exotic weapon proficiency. Does this still allow you to wield it as a one handed weapon if the size of the weapon is increased or does it scale with the size of the weapon.

You get 1½ or even 2x nothing. Which adds up to a grand total of... nothing.
