Ok, in 3.5e, when a bard used an audible performance, he couldn't activate command word items or cast verbal spells, etc.
Did this change in Pathfinder? If a Bard is using bardic performance and is singing, can he still cast a verbal spell or use a command word activated magic item without breaking the performance?

Yes. In Pathfinder all you need to do to continue a performance is be able to make a free action. You can do anything else on top of it such as cast a spell even if the performance is verbal.
How you explain it is up to you but I like to think of it as cleverly working the command word or spell words into the song.
yes.
There isn't a song in any part of the world from any time frame where someone sang it continuously. Ever. During the pause, performer mutters "ala peanut butter and jelly" and the doohicky goes off.
When I click the Loop button on my MP3 player, they sing until the battery dies, which is about 4 hours. ;)
