So:

1. If I successfully hit KAC+8 then I deal damage and grapple

Or

2. I must declare what I try before attack (deal damage OR grapple attempt)

?

[Garretmander]

It's #2. You either attempt an attack or you attempt a grapple.

Currently, the only type of weapon that deals damage on a grapple is one with the Throttle property.
