A character makes a bullrush and the opponent gets a AOO and suceeds in hitting the bullrusher. Does the successful attack stop the bullrush from going into the oppose strength rolls?

Does this apply to other types of attacks like trip, feint and grapples etc.

Second question at hand

Can you BullRush as a Attack of Op.?

Can you BullRush as a Attack of Op.?No, because the Bull Rush action is not a melee attack.

Since things like Trip, grapple, and bullrush are not attacks that deal damage they are not able to be Attacks of Opp.

Do you have a source for that?

I found that if it is described as a Melee Attack it can be used as a Attack of Op. If it is describe as a standard Action then no it can't be used as a attack of Op.

So that is a no to bullrush as it is a Standard Action.

You can read here what counts as melee attack. (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/specialAttacks.htm)
Disarm, trip and grapple attempts are all melee attacks.
