-Bonus damage on Alchemical/Projectile Bombs: Correct, most Alchemical items are Ranged Touch Attacks and wouldn't benefit as they run off spell range rather than range increments. Something like an Acid Flask or Alchemist's Fire would benefit though. And yes, when using the Explosive Missile or Grenade Gun discoveries, the damage bonus would not apply with Rules as Written. I personally would allow it to benefit the Bomb Damage, but ultimately it's the GM call on that one.
-Focused Aim: As is written it would still run off Wisdom for the bonus damage, but it's heavily implied that situations like that would alter all Grit features to run off Int instead... just not flat out stated. Just a case of Rules as Written vs Rules as Intended, something even PF has issues with at time, and as a byproduct, FFd20.
-Crude Bombs: No, this does not give you a second pool of Bombs, it merely lets you choose to have them deal less damage for the benefit of being Extraordinary rather than Supernatural, this allows them to be used in Anti-Magic Fields unlike regular bombs.
As this is a discovery that alters your bombs, an Apothecary couldn't benefit from it since they do not have Bombs to use. Some GMs might let you take this and then burn Field Medicine uses to fuel the Bombs, though they'd probably still deal damage and have their Reflex save based on Int instead of Wisdom... as is though, not technically legal.
