1) Friend wants to know if there is any rules legal way to get both Dangerously Curious and Pragmatic Activator traits on his lore warden fighter. Class skill and using his decent intelligence instead of his dumped charisma will give him a +7 at first level.
2) Are there any admixture or elemental focus type feats that will work on sonic spells?
3) Can a char take Cross-blooded sorcerer, VMC sorcerer, and Eldritch Heritage feat line to have the effects of 4 different bloodlines?
4) Do mage armor and/or shield increase touch attack AC for opponents with firearms or ray attack spells? Any other spells or cheap magic items that will help?
There are a few rules governing trait selection. To begin with, your GM controls how many bonus traits a PC begins with; the default assumption is two traits. When selecting traits, you may not select more than one from the same list of traits (the four basic traits each count as a separate list for this purpose). Certain types of traits may have additional requirements, as detailed in the section above.
I'd rule no on picking up both Traits.

Any other way to get the same effect?
1)
here is a Reign of Winter Campaign trait OR here is a Nethys Religion trait to replace Dangerously Curious. I'd suggest worshiping Nethys and selecting the Religion trait.
2) Not that I am aware of.
3) Rather than having us hunt for each of the rules can you link or quote the relevant rules?
4) No, Mage Armor and Shield do not increase touch AC. What they do is allow you to apply them to your touch AC vs an incorporeal creatures touch attacks.
#1 Also:
Arcane Archivist [Faction trait, Requirement Dark Archive]
Artifact Hunter [Campaign trait]
Bauble Fascination [Race trait, Ratfolk] + adopted [social]
Bauble fascination + adopted has the least entanglements.
#2 no clue, but I don't think so.
#3 you can't be a sorcerer and take VMC sorcerer. That said, you could take eldritch heritage.
graystone, can you link the traits?
To my knowledge, you cannot take VMC sorcerer if you are already a sorcerer, as you can't multiclass in a class you already have or an alternate class thereof (again, to my knowledge). With Eldritch Heritage, you would just get the first level Bloodline power, but there should be no other conflict. Though you can only use that power as if your sorcerer level is 2 lower than it actually is.
Didn't know about Underlying Principles, that will be perfect for him.
Yep, missed that you can't VMC sorc if you are a sorc. But he should be able to VMC an Oracle. That will still give him 4 types of wierdness.
Can anyone think of any other spells or magic items (not horrifically expensive) that will help with touch AC?
Non AC defenses, blur, mirror image, invisibility, that sort of thing.

Depending on how you qualify horrifically expensive, you could get a ring of protection, which gives deflection bonuses to AC, which count towards touch AC.
Aha! I forgot that deflection bonus counted for touch AC. For some reason I was thinking it was only dodge bonus. That opens up quite a few minor magics.

Dodge bonuses also apply to touch AC.
