I asked this already on the Pathfinder Society facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/28750893996/permalink/10155535914948997/), but I figured that since I'm getting into minutia, I should probably ask here for a slightly more "official" answer even while waiting for an answer there.

Additional resources says this about the Bestiary: "Feats: none of the feats are legal for play for PCs, animal companions, or familiars unless specifically granted by another legal source"
It further does not exclude the afore-mentioned combat style in the section for the Advanced Player's Guide.
The natural weapon combat style says: "If the ranger selects natural weapon style, he can choose from the following list whenever he gains a combat style feat: Aspect of the Beast*, Improved Natural Weapon**, Rending Claws*, and Weapon Focus. At 6th level, he adds Eldritch Fangs* and Vital Strike to the list. At 10th level, he adds Multiattack** and Improved Vital Strike to the list."

So, my questions:
1) Does a Ranger (or a Slayer with the Ranger Combat Style talent) who takes the Natural Weapon Combat Style have access to Improved Natural Weapon and Multiattack?
2) If the answer to the above is positive, is that access limited to the levels where it becomes accessible in the combat style? More specifically, if someone takes Natural Weapon Combat Style at 2nd level (either as a Ranger or Slayer), could the character then take Multiattack at 3rd level as a normal feat, instead of at 10th level when it becomes available to the combat style?

Answer to your question 1 is yes, since hte combat style in APG (an another legal source) grants access to those feats.
For the question 2, I believe you'd have to wait for level 10 before taking Multiattack, as it's the combat style that allows a feat that you wouldn't normally be able to take.
I should probably mention, though, that Multiattack does nothing unless you have secondary natural attacks.
The character is a skinwalker. He's got natural attacks.

Just to add another affirmative, that's exactly what "unless specifically granted by another legal source" is referring to: other sources that grant access to those feats.
In the case of combat styles, those feats would be granted access at 2nd, 6th and 10th Levels.
A quick search for "multiattack" in this Forum will bring up similar answers dating back to practically the inception of PFS.
But are they SECONDARY natural attacks, that take -5 when making full attack with natural attacks?
AH. Yes, the hoof attacks are by default. The gore attack would be as well, if I did it in a full attack with a manufactured weapon.
