Does the fighting style Dueling work with the spell Shillelagh?
The spell says - The wood of a club or quarterstaff you are holding is imbued with nature's power. For the duration, you can use your spellcasting ability instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of melee attacks using that weapon, and the weapon's damage die becomes a d8. The weapon also becomes magical, if it isn't already. The spell ends if you cast it again or if you let go of the weapon.
The style says - When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
If I where using a club in one hand would I get my wisdom bonus to attack and then my Wis mod & +2 to damage?
Yes. The fact that Shillelagh lets you use your spellcasting ability and changes the weapon die doesn't change what kind of attack you are making, you are still making an attack with a melee weapon that you are holding.

Yes, so long as you aren't wielding the club in two hands or wielding another weapon in your other hand.
Yes. The fact that Shillelagh lets you use your spellcasting ability and changes the weapon die doesn't change what kind of attack you are making, you are still making an attack with a melee weapon that you are holding.
