Greeting fellow Humans, I am making a wildshape druid with a dip into Maneuver Master to get the flurry of maneuvers, with wisdom to AC, feats (IUS and Imp. Dirty Trick without prereqs), and good saves all gravy. I have some questions about how it all works though.
1) At level 6 when I get Grab, I assume this grants its +4 bonus on any grapple I perform while in an appropriate form, not just those on the grab attacks?
2) Can I perform the bonus maneuver (a dirty trick to blind someone), and then make the rest of my full attack against their flat-footed AC -2?
3) If I successfully grab someone using my natural attacks, can I then use the bonus maneuver to pin them? 3a) Can I do this immediately after I grab them, and then continue on with the rest of my attacks against their lowered AC?
4) If I begin my turn grappling someone, can I use the bonus maneuver to maintain the grapple or do I need to take a standard action to do so (depriving me of my full attack and bonus maneuver)? 4a) If I can use the bonus maneuver do I need to do this at the start or can I do it at the end? 4b) If I can do it at the end is the enemy still grappled during this time or do I need to make the grapple check immediately on my turn?
I might find a few more things as I explore this further, but that should do for now. Thanks in advance!

1) Yes, anyone/anything with grab gets a +4 on each and every check to start/maintain a grapple.
2) Yes, you can intersperse the bonus maneuver(s) and the rest of your full-attack action (including natural attacks) however you like. Only your iterative attacks have a defined order, and only amongst themselves.
3) Pinning is just a special application of the grapple maneuver, so not only can you use the bonus maneuver for that, you still get the +4 for having grab.
3a) Yes.
4) You can use the bonus maneuver.
4a) The grapple continues as long as you make a successful check to maintain it at some point during your turn, doesn't matter when.
4b) A failure on your part to maintain the grapple doesn't release your foe until your turn ends.
