Togashi Kazuki Open: Target another of your Personalities. Set his Force to Kazuki’s Force or his Chi to Kazuki’s Chi.
Kazuki currently has 4F and Togashi Bob has 1F + 1F from a weapon. I use Kazuki's open action to set Togashi Bob's force to 4. Does Togashi Bob then get an additional +1 from the attached weapon?

No. His current force before Kasuki's bonus is 2, so he gets a +2F bonus to match Kazuki's 4 Force.
I'd recommend you transfer the +1F weapon to Kazuki first. Then you'll wind up with two 5F Personalities instead of two 4F Personalities.
