OOC: Well, if it's up to me (and it kinda is, isn't it?) my ruling is that you make the leap next to the orcrat, but he gets a free shot at you. Then your grapple takes place next round. Cool with you? Scotley?

Moving into a threatened square doesn't provoke an AoO.

OOC: Can't Soulfetter just grapple the Robed Orc as part of a charge?

Duh . . . Problem solved! With this option, SoulFetter's AC is 16 (until his next turn) and the TH roll (vs. Touch AC) is 27. Follow up Grapple check is still 36 (To be opposed by Robed Orc's grapple check). Grapple Damage (1d3+5=8)

No it doesn't, but moving out of the threatened square into the orcrat's square does. Remember, you can't grapple from five feet away.

Works for me

W/ Improved Grapple, the melée touch attack (made from the threatening square) does not draw AoO. Once that succeeds you move into opponents space, drawing AoO from other opponents (not the target of the grapple). No one besides his target threatens any adjacent squares.

Ok, Ok, do it your own way, I'm only a DM here, what do I know? Just do what you want, inflict however many hundreds of points of damage as you wish, and let's move on please. Sheesh, I fully intended to have left this conversation in the dust yesterday, please don't stretch it out any longer.
