For example - suppose Lini displays wall of blades at her location. She explores and encounters a monster. Can she then play a seperate attack spell and also recharge 2 cards for the 2D8? Or has she already "played her spell" that is allowed during the encounter?

I think in your example Lini can play a seperate attack spell OR recharge 2 cards for the 2D8. But she can't do both.

Alahazra can play Wall of Blades (display it) when a character encounters a monster (it is "When you encounter a card" step) and then if she takes the second combat check she still can play an Attack spell (it is "Attempt che check/next chek" step, i.e. a different step). It's Ok.
But I think she can't play an Attack spell on the second combat check AND also use Wall of Blades.
Because of this rule: "Activating a power on a displayed card also counts as playing it" and this topic: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2rr6e?When-do-you-play-Sphere-of-Fire#23
In other words Wall of Blades looks like a kind of spell you have to make a decision to use it (like Rage).

Wall of Blades:
"Display this card when a character encounters a bane. Any character who attempts a combat check this turn MAY recharge 2 cards to add 2d8 and the slashing trait to it."
