A soulknife can use feats such as Power Attack or Combat Expertise in conjunction with the mind blade just as if it were a normal weapon.

The soulknife has stats identical with a short sword. A short sword is a light weapon...

It looks like a specific rule overriding a general, looks okay to me. So the Soulknife can power attack 2-handed with their shortsword heh.

Well, they can make their soulknife into a long sword or bastard sword later on...

Right, and it functions just like a shortsword. A shortsword can't be used to powerattack. However, as noted above, at 5th level (I think) the Soul Knife can manifest their weapon as a longsword or bastard sword.
