Looks fun.
a) Maybe get a wand of owl's wisdom to help with Will saves and Perception and Survival checks until you can get the right headgear.
b) ???
c) I think the 5 foot step and 3 attacks is better, especially if you can flank and get that nifty +2 to hit.
Maybe take a few levels of inquisitor for better Will saves and Teamwork Feats, like Outflank.
Is the weapon finesse for emergencies when you can't use your axe?

^Unchained Rogue gives you Weapon Finesse (actually Rogue's Finesse, and later Finesse Training) automatically, and doesn't have any archetypes that trade it out for something that would be more useful on a Strength Rogue (hey, developers -- hint hint).
so out of your levels, how many times have you actually used cleave?
so out of your levels, how many times have you actually used cleave?
Given 3/4 BAB and Surprise Follow-Through, a rogue can get enough out of Cleave to make extra positioning effort worthwhile.
can you take the scout archetype with unchanged? Cause if so it might be worth grabbing.

Hard to really buff up will saves as most martials, but maybe something like the Four Leaf Clover from Occult adventures?
+2 luck bonus three times a day as a free action, on a single ability check, skill check or Saving Throw. it costs 3750. Which is not a bad deal.
Can you go Sacred Tattoo & Fate's Favored instead of Indomitable Faith? That nets you +2 to Fort and Reflex and an additional +1 to Will. Plus it affects other luck bonuses.
You can use your move action to move any distance, up to your speed.
So you can move 5 feet, 10, or 30.
You can even move 0 feet and just dance. :-P
I don't know.
Can you do something else that provokes? Like picking up a pebble from the ground, performing an untrained or "un-Improved" combat maneuver, sheathing a weapon, dropping and standing up from prone, etc.?
Or does it have to be a movement-related AoO?
Just noticed something:
{. . .}
ranger 2 retrain Cleave and Surprise Follow-Through to Dodge and Mobility, take ranger combat style: two-handed: Cleave and Surprise Follow-Through {. . .}
Retraining Surprise Follow-Through when you get Ranger 2 doesn't make much sense, because it isn't a Ranger Combat Style Feat. Just retrain it after you get Cleave as a Ranger Combat Style Feat, so that you aren't violating the rule that you can't retrain a feat that is a prerequisite for a feat that you aren't retraining.
^Editfail for above: What I meant was: Retraining Surprise Follow-Through to itself doesn't make much sense . . . .

One trick I like to use sometimes is to make my full attack, and then use my 5' step afterwards. I have someone else I play with who loves to team up against people with me where we will literally swap places with each other using that trick so we can both get flanking with another team mate on the other side of an opponent.
You could always buy a +wis headband to bump up your will saves a bit. There are also a couple Ioun stones which give save bonuses.
If you only need a bonus feat, why not go with Brawler? You get a little bit less skills, but two bonus feats (Improved Unarmed Strike and any other combat feat), Martial Flexbility and Brawler's flurry. Or skip Martial Flexibility and take Snakebite striker to get an extra sneak attack die.
I like this build, it feels different than the usual brawny rogue type. Well thought out, if I was starting a new Pathfinder game soon, I think I'd give it a try (though with a chained version of the rogue, probably bandit so I can move AND take advantage of Cleave in a surprise round).

@UnArcaneElection This retraining thing is just because I'm at level 7 already and I discovered a cool feat I want that has two prerequisites. So I need a bonus feat from somewhere. I looked at all my options, and I picked ranger for the skill points. Trouble is, my bonus feat has to be in two-handed style, and I've already got all the feats I need from there. So I thought the thing to do would be to retrain the Cleave feat I took at level 3 into Dodge, and take it again with my ranger combat style. But I thought that retraining a feat I took as a prerequisite meant that I had to retrain the last feat as well. Surprise Follow-Through I can replace with another combat feat (as per the combat trick rogue talent, so Mobility), and then I can take it again as my normal feat at 9th.Am I thinking about retraining wrong?
{. . .}
No, but from your originally posted build, it looked like you were retraining and then re-acquiring Surprise Follow-Through at the same level. Even being 2 levels off from each other, it seems inefficient, although given the cramped build room of PFS, you might have to do it anyway, unless you dip Fighter to get an extra Bonus Combat Feat (or two).
