Can anyone tell me what page in the rulebook the rules for grappling are? Or a link to where it is on the AoN. Thank you!

Grappling is a use of Athletics and as such in the Athletics skill section.

Grappling is fairly easy now in 2e (unlike that flow chart of doom), so the quick and dirty of Grappling: On your turn you take a single action to use the grapple action (yes its a single action so hit them with your sword a few times before you grab them). Next you will roll your Athletics vs their Fort DC (DC are 10 + the mod). If you succeed you give the opponent the grabbed condition (you are flat-footed and have immobilized condition. If you attempt a manipulate action while grabbed, you must succeed at a DC 5 flat check or it is lost; roll the check after spending the action, but before any effects are applied). And there you go. Additionally it is untrained so you don't have to be trained in athletics but it doesn't hurt to be trained in it.

grapple has the attack trait so it uses MAP

You are right but if you have the fighter feat exacting strike it does help with MAP, but yes normally it would be a -5(-4), -10(-8) depending .

grapple has the attack trait so it uses MAP Is there a 'next level' to a Grapple? For instance, if you grapple a grappled person again, do they become restrained?

If your second grapple is a critical success, yes.
Because you used a second grapple, no.

Ok. Thanks. A couple of other grapple-related questions...
The description of a grapple success is as follows:
"Success: Your opponent is grabbed until the end of your next turn unless you move or your opponent Escapes."
1. Does that mean that if the opponent doesn't escape the grapple on their next turn that I don't need to use an action the grapple him on my next turn?
2. Does that mean that the opponent automatically escapes my grapple at the end of my next turn (unless I let him go and attempt to grapple him again before the end of that next turn)?

Clarification question because of the order of wording in the grapple action:
If I have someone grappled from last round, Do I need to roll to maintain the grapple or just spend the action?
