Tengu favored class bonus for oracle is the same for gnome. Add 1/2 to the oracle level for purposes of determining the effects of the curse. At level 5 wrecker oracle says "reduce the hardness of an object you attack in mellee by your oracle level." Does my favored class bonus apply to this or do I just get the ability a level earlier. I'm paraphrasing so if the ruling is very word specific let me know.

Both.
Your effective level increases, which affects both getting higher level abilities, and level based effects.
Yup.
