In Source 3 under Weapon Size there is information on that. I think the general rule is if you are a small creature a medium sized weapon must be able and wielded in the two-handed fashion. Looks like a -2 to the attack roll may be another speed bump for that path.

I don't see why a slightly smaller weapon would do less damage as long as it's wielded the correct way, but, that's just how it is I suppose.

That's too bad. I would think a shortsword would be usable one-handed for a halfing, but a longsword would probably be too end-heavy for the Halfling's low leverage, to use without some difficulty, unless two-handed. I can't find any rules that indicate otherwise, that a halfling with a katana has to essentially use it like a two-handed sword - though I wonder how a no-dachi would be represented.

I guess if you considered it's a halfling from the Asian-like area, the shortsword would be the halfling sized katana, and uh, what, a dagger or punching dagger or something might be the wakizashi, if that's what you're going for, at lease theme-wise. I still think it's a cool concept, whatever the mechanical stats for it.

Yes that is unfortunate though a halfling is the size of a young child and weapons are heavy. If you use a medium sized weapon and take weapon focus you could have only a -1 to the attack roll. Get a +1 weapon and your good, but you can't use a shield so.

Also I think the reduced damage may reflect the fact that a smaller person cannot give as much force with a smaller weapon, or along that line of thought. If you have a smaller weapon and are hitting a larger target it will generally do less to the larger target. Than if that larger target used that same weapon on you the smaller target.
