Either is a reasonable enough rule.

If you want to attack the claw you'd need a close combat weapon. Otherwise, sure, I'd go with whatever weapons work at the actual range you're at.

Depends how it's implemented. It could easily be done like worrying (normally done with a bite), which allows continuing bites with no defense roll.
