Can you take a swift action and a full attack action in the same round? For instance, can you use Arcane Strike and still make all of your iterative attacks? Can you, as a Sorcerer, cast a Quickened spell (swift action) and then another spell enhanced by a meta-magic feat (full round action)?

Indeed you can.
In a normal round, you can perform a standard action and a move action, or you can perform a full-round action. You can also perform one swift action and one or more free actions. You can always take a move action in place of a standard action.
So each (non-surprise) round, you get one standard, one move, one swift and some free -- or one full-round, one swift and some free.

Perfect. Thank-you.
Here's another random one - would the trait Magical Knack (+2 Caster Level) affect the feat Arcane Strike?

I'd say so. Don't forget that Magical Knack can't up the caster level any higher than your character level, though.
But I'm sure you're asking for a splash of Fighter, or something.

As written -- yes.
The trait actually boosts your caster level, and Arcane Strike's effect is based off your caster level. (Which makes sense -- it's the same basic effect as Magical Knack boosting the damage of your fireballs or lightning bolts).
However, yes, as the Ghost reminded you -- Magical Knack won't boost you above your hit dice, so it's not at all helpful to a straight-on spellcaster (but rather snazzy for a multiclassed character, especially one heading toward Dragon Disciple, Arcane Archer or Eldritch Knight ).

Yeah, I was going with the assumption of a standard race. :)

Yep - I'm putting together a Human Sorcerer (Crossblooded Orc-Dragon)/Dragon Disciple with a two level splash of Paladin. I'm really liking the results so far - I'm getting +2 damage/die with fire spells and at higher levels we're looking at Transformation + Power of Giants + 10-12 in class Strength bonuses and another +7 in Natural Armor bonuses. Should make for quite the juggernaut when the situation calls for it.
Thanks for your assistance, guys.
