move action start bardic performance(vocal) 5/23 rounds +2 attack/damage/save vs fear also move 2 right 1 down against large crate".
That's one standard action and two move actions. You can't do all of that in one round sorry. So you will move this round (unless you tell me otherwise).
Next we need to discuss, can you stealth while using inspire courage or spell casting without silent spell? I don't believe you can, particularly when the stealth skill says: Being Observed: If people are observing you using any of their senses (but typically sight), you can't use Stealth. The idea of being able to stealth while speaking with a firm voice to cast a spell breaks verisimilitude for me so much that I'm going to disallow it.
Of course neither of those actions break invisibility, so the perception check is DC20 not 1d20+34 or higher.
Do you still wish to move? They may see you and take an AOO, however you still have total concealment so they need to hit and roll 50 or above on a d100 roll.
Finally there is the question of can you flank while invisible? Apparently yes you can as long as you are threatening (although I find that very weird). You specifically mentioned drawing your sword, so yes you are threatening, and yes you can flank - assuming you still want to move.

Point 1 moving and starting Bardic Performance - goes to you.
I went back and re-read the passage and it says at lvl 7, I can start a performance as a move action, not as part of a move action. Was thinking I could start it similar to drawing a sword while moving once you are BAB +1.
Point 2 - moving while invisible with a bardic performance going using stealth.
My thinking here goes back to the use of ghost sound, at this point I can use ghost sound to project 24 voices worth of volume, and I wanted that voice filling the room mimicing my voice.
Without ghost sound, I agree that speaking in my normal voice while moving and invisible using stealth would be broken; because there is only one point my voice is coming from. Yet with ghost sound my voice coming from 25 different locations masking the true location of my actual voice. Much as mirror image mask a true person visually, I'm using ghost sound to mask my voice, to allow me to move using stealth. With your eyes closed could you pinpoint the one true voice moving if surrounded by that voice on all sides?
Gonna wait to see your reply to point 2, I would like for you to rethink it based on the above use; to me there isn't a difference between that and matching it up with silent image to fool someone.
BTW I agree that flanking while invisible would be a weird bonus for Lilly as neither she or the person being attacked know where I'm at - although that could be bothersome for the one being attacked, not knowing where I will show up. He does know I walked into the room and disappeared. The mention of it was to specify where I was located .
How would you feel about this scenario: you're fighting an invisible conjuration specialist wizard spamming high level summons, and he's sitting there patiently buffing them as they come out. And you have to make a DC 34+ perception check to find him... Obviously there are anti invisibility spells, but what if this mage has Spell Immunity: See Invisible, Glitterdust. TPKs are made of such things.
I think I probably shouldn't allow it but I want to give you a chance to respond first.
Incidentally part of what you're trying to do here is disguise spell casting - there is a proper way for bards to do that: Spellsong

I wouldn't enjoy the above scenario much; but spell immunity states "Naturally, that immunity doesn't protect a creature from spells for which spell resistance doesn't apply." - Glitterdust shows " Spell Resistance no"; so doesn't that mean he can't use spell immunity to protect himself from glitterdust? so I have 6 chances to get him in 10'radius splashes, I do have a chance. See invisibility doesn't have that caveat and he could hide from that easily

Lingering performance will let me cast a spell and keep the performance bonus intact, I have made it a part of my song in the past not realizing I couldn't. Using lingering performance would allow me to use one round of performance for 3 rounds, while casting 2 spells on the other two round before picking it back up and swinging my sword or using my bow. Thanks for the idea :-)
I'm not trying to break the system, but trying to learn what I can do with my PC, the synergy of the two things as you said above was to me a clever use of a cantrip at higher levels. Seems that at this point in life he would be learning the odd things he can do with it, not just using the cantrip, for a wolf's howl on a dark night or a whistle from the other side of the room.
I'll abide by whatever you choose to allow or disallow, no worries. May just have to rethink my combat options in this encounter.
--> NO, HE'S GOT WOOL IN HIS EARS :)
Alwyn saunters past Green, casts HASTE and lets inspire fall (lingering performance 1/2).
The worker Lilly was attacking, decides to run away!
->Hit
Alwyn, you are entitled to an AOO.
Lilly hits the worker, puncturing a kidney as he foolishly presents his back.
The worker Mohktar was attacking (purple), steps gingerly towards the loom by the door and yanks on a rope. This causes the loom to collapse spectacularly towards the entrance with bits of wood and yard after yard of silken strands everywhere. It's obvious after the fact that this was a trap.
-> Ooops.
The debris rains down on Lilly, and a large wooden block smacks her in the arm. She finds herself entangled by the mess and unable to move much.

Pratavh moves up to the door to see in better then conjures a globual of acid which then flies at the thug he attacked before. Hirati flies over and lands on his shoulder.

Pratavh lobs a remarkably well aimed blob of acid at the prone thug on the floor. The man yelps and cowers in a pool of urine.
Mohktar absolutely pummels the worker who sprung the trap, hitting him with two solid kicks. The worker stumbles woozily, on his feet but barely. Mohktar also aims a well places kick at the worker intoxicated by Hirati's breath. The man staggers after the first impact and lurches unpredictably just out of reach of the second kick.

Lilly easily manages to cut her way free, the flaming enchantment rips through the silken strands with ease.
Shikyo & Alwyn are up.
Shiko unloads on the prone guy...
Alwyn's invisibility faded the moment he tried to attack the fleeing worker.
Standing up is a move-equivalent action that provokes an attack of opportunity.
Shikyo deftly beheads the prone worker.
Alwyn opens the door to see the Spinning and Dyeing Room. Large dye vats and reels of drying silk fill this area. At the north end of the room, a large trough sits on a long charcoal bed. The place reeks with an acrid chemical odor. Here workers boil cocoons (making it easy to unravel their silken filaments), spin multiple filaments into reels of silk thread, and dye the silk bright colors. A fire burns under the trough, boiling the water within. At the far end of the trough near the next set of doors is the worker who fled in here.

"you in the corner, if you want to live. move to the middle of the room and lay down face first hands where I can see them. "
Wary after Lilly's incident with the loom in the previous room, Alwyn stays well clear of the machinery and points at the open area in the middle if the floor.
move left 2 down 3; point at floor with sword indicating where the mook goes(A2)
The worker stares at Alwyn with hard eyes, but makes no move to obey. The door behind him opens, but you can see nobody inside...

Moving into the building, Pratavh sees the two thugs that Mohktar is fighting and sends a volley of arcane force into them.
Mohktar aims a series of brutal round house kicks at the pair of workers. They both fall down and to add insult to injury, Pratavh smacks them with a volley of arcane force which lifts them both bodily up only for their heads to crack back down on the floor.

Alwyn frustrated at the lack of response from the worker in the corner, and his previous attack with his sword; begins to look around, wary after the looms collapse in the previous room. Not seeing anything helpful he begins a fluid dance with the sword, moving it first left then right, sometimes high and then low, always changing the position and angle of the blade. The firelight glinting seductively off of the blade.
The worker watches Alwyn's sword with wide eyes, captivated by the glinting steel...
You all hear a floor board creak somewhere in the room, but you can see nothing!

Pratavh moves along the northern wall to the doors where Lilly and Shikyo went and look in to see them. With no other obvious target, Pratavh sends a glob of acid at the worker at the far end of the room.
Pratavh manages to jump over the broken loom and enters the double doors to see the worker to the south entranced by the play of light on Alwyn's sword. Pratavh sends a glob of acid to smack the worker squarely in the head! The worker snaps too and snarls in pain as the acid dissolves some of his skin.

Shiko moves forward and as he does his form shimmers until several Shiko's appear of them.
He dances forward to attack the worker that Pratavh hit
but he probably misses.

Mohktar signals to Pratavh, pointing to his eyes and then downward at his feet where the two men lay unconscious. "Prisoners." He says evenly.
The he points to himself and gestures south. "Searching."
With that he slips southward through the mill, seeking to reveal what's hidden there. Wary of traps he moves carefully.
