If I was to charge into battle wielding a one handed weapon in two hands and thus make an attack using power attack and strength and half is there anything that would then prevent me from quick drawing a shield (since shields are weapons as well) during the same round and adding it into my AC?
If not would it work with a Quick Draw Shield?
I understand that on subsequent rounds I'd have to drop my shield in order to continue two handing my one handed weapon, but that's not my intention. I'll likely two weapon fight after the first round of combat wielding the shield.

Readying or removing a shield is a move action. Even if you can quick draw a shield as a weapon, that doesn't make it ready as a shield to protect you from attacks. A quickdraw shield helps with this.
