Yes, that's exactly how it works per SKuzzy and Jim. The rewrite on
Hand Razors in 2nd Run will be clearer as it will say someting like
"Runner receives +X/+0. X = Runner's melee +1. Runner may use two Hand
Razors at once."

No on the Katana. While Hand Razors are definitely cyberware, the also
carry the deisgnation of weapon. Only one weapon may be used per
combat, unless specially designated (Hand Razors, Flatline,
Ambidextrous, ...) Now an Ambidextrous Runner could use one set of
Hand Razors and a Katana at once, but still not use two hand Razors
and the Katana. Common sense is the guide on this
Yes on the cyberarms. Two Hand Razors and to Cyberarms are still under
6 Essence. So with all four Domino would have an impressive 14 attack
in this example. "Com'ere little Skwraaaaaak."

Exactly. The card says so.

Not how Jim and Skuzzy rule on this.
This is in the FAQ on FASA's page:
~!~!~!~!~!
Q. If a Runner is holding two Hand Razors does he add his Melee to his
Attack value twice?
A. Yes.
~!~!~!~!~!
2nd Run will make it clearer.

I don't think anyone will argue on this one.
