When I duel from a swashbuckler to a fighter, the swashbuckler can put 2 points on twohanded weapon style slot, if i add it on when i am a fighter also will i have only the -4 to bonus speed or will it incease to -8 when i put another 2 points on it?

When you level up and select the 2-weapon fighting option it should describe the bonuses for each point placed in the skill. I don't think they are cumulative beyond what is described.

Even if both of you classes have 2 prof slots you cannot get more than what a regular fighter can. I'm not sure what'll happen but my money is on that you'll waste those 2 extra profs on nothing.

No, you should get extra bonuses if you already have 2 points in the skill and are going to add 2 more in it.

If you take two handed in your first class and then take it in your second, I don't think the bonuses stack. The only way to really know is to do it, however.

I looked at the bonuses for 2 weapon fighting. They are as follows:
2 points- Main hand - no penalty
Off hand -4 penalty
3 points - Main hand - no penalty
Off hand -2 penalty
You are limited to putting two points in this skill
.
You could probably ofset the penalty by putting more points in for the off-hand weapon (or using a high enhanced weapon).

Ravager, I think that Prinzy meant two handed weapon style, not dual-weilding. In any case, you are correct.

Then it should say what bonuses you get every time you allocate an extra point. They won't stack though (unless it says you get an 'extra' bonus to the THACO).
ADDITION- I looked at the right skill this time
.
One slot +1 damage -2 to speed
Two slots a 'further' -2 to speed, crit. hits on 19 and 20.
BTW, Swashbucklers can put both points in this skill (no more points can be allocated by fighter).
