The Fighter will have a weapon training between 1 and 4, +2 from the gloves. So trained Grace adds another +3-6 to damage.
Nothing in Advanced Weapon Training increases your Weapon Training bonus.
For what it is worth, here is the author unofficially speaking about his intention.
When I designed the AWTs, I did so with the assumption that the gloves increased the weapon training bonus, and that modified bonus interfaces with the advanced weapon trainings. For example, if you had the gloves at 9th leveland had trained grace, you'd add +2 to your weapon training bonus which would then be multiplied to +8 for damage rolls.
This might not be Paizo's stance now that ADTs have gone through development, but in my opinion, we're talking about small bonuses to a class that has been historically weak.
Talk to your GM and if Paizo releases an official statement, use what they say. (And I probably shouldn't be considered a reputable source for the purpose of PFS and the like since I'm not a golem.)

So four levels of Weapon Master for +3 to AWT features and 2-3 AWT feat grabs... not too shabby.

How do you take the Advanced Weapon Training feat more than once in those four levels? He can't take it at all until 4th level. If he spends his 4th level bonus feat to take it once, then he doesn't have any more feats to spend on taking it more times.
A Fighter can re-train a previous bonus feat at 4, making for 2 - neither of which count towards the normal 1/5 levels limit; so that another is then possible at 5, potentially even if there are only 4 levels of Weapon Master taken. Unless I'm reading it wrong, it's late.
Hmm. I'm not that familiar with the retraining rules for Fighters. The feat description says that a Weapon Master can't take it until 4th level. Can you ignore that restriction when retraining feats that were from earlier levels?

Yes, if a Fighter re-trains a bonus feat they simply ditch the old one (assuming it wasn't a prerequisite for something) and take a new one, no questions asked. So at level 4 the Weapon Master can take 2xAWT with bonus feats, and still be eligible for another one.

Well, that's a nice thing. How did a martial get that? ;)
