The Rogue Crippling strike and Opportunist abilities say they only work with Light weapons, morningstars, light crossbows, and slings. Light weapons are supposedly any weapon one size smaller than yourself. If a rogue is small sized by being a gnome, halfling, or other such race does that mean they can only use those abilities with Tiny sized weapon, or can the small rogue also use morningstars, light crossbows, and slings to use the previously mentioned abilities?

The bonuses apply to weapons as they are listed, so yes a small-sized Rogue can get those bonuses with a 2H Morningstar (which is the most common 2H option for Rogues).

But even with that change its still the only 2h (with the accompanying damage boost) you'll get opportunist and crippling strike benefits with, as long as you are a shorty! Also worth bearing in mind if you want always on searching (saving you having to activate it) you might want to consider Elf or Half-Elf base race.

The 2h boost integrates sneak, right?

As sneak is outside critical multiplier I suspect not.

2h boosts sneak damage, and you can be anything that is not Elf (and just elf, cuz half-elves don't have keen senses) and still find secrets for which you have enough search ranks even if not in search mode, if you walk over them out of combat.
BoooGald.

But a small rogue can use a Light Crossbow to get crippling Strikes and Opportunist correct?

Only reason to use a missile weapon on a rogue is for targets that cannot be hit with melee weapons. Using a ranged weapon is significantly less damaging than melee.

For once it wasn't me the dream crusher. Karma's intact (in the slight negative values).

Is the bonus from Opportunist visible in the character record. I have a +8 heavy crossbow and a +7 light crossbow, and at level 40 and 20 base Int I should have +4 from opportunist. I have +48 with the Heavy crossbow and +47 with the light crossbow. But with opportunist it should be +51 with the light crossbow, shouldn't it?
