Can you wield one-handed weapons with two hands, such as using both hands on a rapier in conjunction with the Mauler archetype's Clear the Way feat, for example?

Yes, you can. Yes, it counts for feats that require a 2 handed weapon.

Weapons requiring two hands typically deal more damage. Some one‑handed weapons have the two‑hand trait, causing them to deal a different size of weapon damage die when used in two hands. In addition, some abilities require you to wield a weapon in two hands. You meet this requirement while holding the weapon in two hands, even if it doesn’t require two hands or have the two‑hand trait.

The only problem with Clear the Way is that it does not do anything to reduce MAP. So although a character notionally gets 5 shove attempts, really they will mostly have just two effective shoves and then three misses at -10 each, with a fair chance at ending up prone themselves from a critical miss.
Not very useful other than for the rare "high level character vs a zombie horde" scenario.
