The Grapple combat maneuver says:
Humanoid creatures without two free hands attempting to grapple a foe take a –4 penalty on the combat maneuver roll.
The Grappled condition says:
In addition, grappled creatures can take no action that requires two hands to perform.
This seems to imply a different number of hands are needed to grapple, or that both hands are depended on for initiating a grapple but not for maintaining it. Is this true?
A Feral Gnasher gets Lockjaw which provides Grab but has target size restrictions.
If a target is too large for Grab but the Feral Gnasher still performs a grapple, and chooses to damage the opponent, can both bite and weapon (or unarmed) attack damage be used?

Yes, the Grappled condition models merely getting a "hold" on someone. Pinned is closer to full on wrestling.

No, you have to pick one, the list of choices is exclusive.
