    Pathfinder 2e is extremely clear in it’s rules, you just have to carefully read the descriptions.

    From Monster hunter:

    You and allies you tell gain a +1 circumstance bonus to your next attack roll against that prey.

    From Double Slice:

    Make two Strikes, one with each of your two melee weapons, each using your current multiple attack penalty.

    So you make two strikes, you roll to attack twice. The bonus only applies to the first strike. If the monster hunter feat had the following text, it would apply to both attacks:

    You and allies you tell gain a +1 circumstance bonus to your next action against that prey.

        No, there are abilities that grant auch bonuses for longer, like this one:

        It’s usually better to not look for general rules, but to instead get used to reading the ability descriptions with a focus on the key words, like traits, bonus/malus types, and saving roll types.

        Edit: I made a mistake, that example does indeed just grant the bonus to the next attack only. Perhaps that rule is correct.
