Alright, so if I bull rush someone I CAN move someone back an additional 5ft beyond the first, meaning that the first 5ft the target must move back, but I can selectively choose how far they move back depending on how much I beat the CMD. Also, I CAN move with them, and I believe I can choose exactly how far I want to go, meaning I don't have to completely follow, but I must have the movement to do so.
Moving on, I want clarify if I bull rush a target into another target. Let's say I have an ally directly behind the target in the directs path of the bullrush. Do I absolutely have to make another check to bullrush anything the target runs into, or can I choose not to, or choose to fail, or choose to not include parts of my CMB? It states "you must immediately make a combat maneuver check to bull rush that creature", which looks pretty much like I must.
So, moving a target into an ally, while I have greater bullrush, do they get to make an AoO for the moving into their square to possibly involve them in the bull rush, or can they only take the AoO if it's successful in involving them in the bull rush?
What happens if I bull rush someone into a tent, or off a cliff?
What happens when I bull rush someone while they are in a grapple? Consider doing it in a direct path, and when it only involves 1 target, and the other grappler is not in the path.

If I understand the Bull Rush rules correctly, then I believe that you do have to attempt to push your ally if he is in the way, but I think that you [RAW] can "Choose" how far to move your enemy. I also don't think you can deliberately "Fail" to push your ally RAW because the rules don't say you can. With the Greater Bull Rush question, I do believe the ally can make an AoO against the target. For Bull Rushing off a cliff the answer seems fairly obvious, he falls. I think that if he is bull rushed into a building/tent/etc., he simply stops there.
