Great Question: I'm not sure, but to make Eldritch Archer playable, I would link it to the Bow Strike range.

RAI: I assume the Eldritch Archer picks a spell (with only two restrictions, 1. Requires Spell Attack and 2. Requires 1 or 2 actions) and then makes a "normal" bow strike. While it says "Cast a Spell", I assume mechanically, the other spell requirements are ignored.

RAW: I'm not sure how the archer casts anything. Beyond the targeting/range requirements of the spell, I don't see anything in the Eldritch Archer dedication that the bow replaces V, S, M, or F components. However, I would have expected to see text that the Bow could be used to replace the S, M, F components similar to the sidebar on page 303 of Core. For the range/targeting requirements, I'm not sure how to use the "Cast a Spell" action and bypass the targeting rules on page 304 of Core. For targeting, it says "The target must be within the spell's range...".

I don't think that there is a definitive answer. There are a lot of things to adjudicate here. ALL I can really offer is opinion.

Those creatures that believe in the wall, would not target creatures on the other side of it, because they can't see them.
However, if their enemy is peering out from behind the wall, they might choose to target them. Against a cover bonus!?! The GM could go either way on whether or not to apply a cover bonus.

But there is nothing to stop them trying to destroy the wall. The GM should probably not allow it to affect creatures on the other side of the wall. The effect should simply miss them, or only have a small chance of splash damage

If they had a valid target a reasonable GM might allow then to use an area of effect attack. Which could potentially affect those behind the illusion as the wall is not really there.....

A reasonable GM will also stop players from trying any attack that the attacking character "believes" will have no effect, and also stop an attack againt the wall if the character has another way around.

So, the created wall is invisible? So even if you believe the wall exists, it does not block line of sight. For my sanity, I'm assuming the wall is treated like a wall of force. e.g. Enemies would assume it is a wall of force and either work around it or attempt to destroy as they choose. Unfortunately, this assumption also means the wall won't make much of a ladder. It will be difficult to climb with invisible hand holds.
