So I've reached that point in my society life where I'm going to explore multi-classing but I have no clue what it means towards my favored class.
The things I assume:
I get the BaB, HD, Ft/Rf/Wi saves and skill points but do I also acquire the class skills? Or does my favored prevent that? I would hope so cause that'd be silly but amazing if it didn't.
Also, because it's a level 1 class/etc. Does that grant me the extra feat?
I am curently a Swordmaster Rogue dipping into Urban Barbarian.
if you are just taking 1 level just look at everything on the fist line of the class you are dipping into and add all that to you character. BaB, saves everything. Yes you get the new class skills, but you do not get your favored class bonus for that level.
No you do not get a second first level character feat, you continue the regular progression of getting one feat every other level.
Lets just go to the brass tacks.
Whats your current class, and what are you pondering dipping into?
mmmmm fondu...

Since I'm Rogue 7/Barb 1 and when I get another level in my main class. I'll get the feat when I'm a Rogue 8 (since it'd be 9 total)?

Chocolate covered cheese. Wait, what?
Currently I'm a level 7 and just got my third xp point at that level. So I'm going into 8. Considering urban barbarian cause of the controlled rage. Since all the other kids do it.
If you must know how I'm currently built:
(Two Weapon Fighting) Sword Master Rogue
Str: 13
Dex: 18
Con: 16 (14 + Belt +2)
Int: 10
Wis: 12
Cha: 10
My primary weapons:
+1 Agile Shortswords x2
Feats/Talents taken:
TWF, Finesse Rogue, Weapon Training: Weapon Focus, Combat Trick: Double Slice, Quick Draw, Dodge.
I also got a boon that is giving me a free feat which is leaning towards Iron Will. Cause I love making those will saves.
Money has been tight since I purchased my last agile. Since I've had to stay supplied for high tier.
I've got a belt of con +2, cloak of res +1 and spring loaded wrist sheeths. xD;
Woes of being a TWF-Dex rogue and I've only got 5.3k GP to spend after my last game.

Yes, character feats follow total character level.
pretty much you've got it. Progressions remain exactly the same with regards to feats/ability points. You get those based on character level, what specific class levels you have is totally irrelevant.
You do get access to the class skills of whatever you multiclass into, one of the benefits of multiclassing. You simply add those skills to the list of class skills.
Your favored class is largely unimportant. Presumably your favored class is Rogue. When you take barbarian levels you won't gain the extra favored class bonus you get each level (+1 hp/ +1 skill/ racial favored class bonus). Otherwise your favored class doesn't matter.
Multiclassing:
Adds all the class skills of the new class to your list of class skills.
Adds all the stuff your new class gets at lvl 1, including BAB, saves, special abilities, skill ranks, bonus feats.
Doesn't give you maximum hp for level 1, that's an effect of being a lvl 1 CHARACTER, not class.
Doesn't change when you get ability increases or normal feats (at 1, 3, 5, 7...), those too depend on character level, not class level.
Only gives you a favoured class bonus IF your second class is favoured. So, unless your rogue is a race that gets you more than one favoured class, you won't get the bonus for both classes. Note that you COULD build the character with barbarian as favoured class, but not take any barbarian levels until level 8. This would mean your rogue levels don't give you the bonus, but your barbarian levels will.
Generally, if you have abilities that level up with you, the ability will typically depend on your CLASS level. Some exceptions exist, and typically either base it on character level outright, or allow you to add levels in two different classes together for this purpose.
Your maximum ranks in a skill are still equal to your character level.
I am sure I forgot something.
