Ok, two weapon fighting can be a difficult topic, but ill try to summurize.
First you have your normal iterative attacks (the normal amount you can make because of your BAB). As long as you take no extra attacks, you can attack with as many weapons you want, up to the number of attacks you have. So if you had a BAB of 11/6/1 you could attack Blade A/Blade B/Boot, Blade A/Boot/Blade B, Blade B/Boot/Blade A, Blade A/Blade A Blade B, ect, as long as you only take attacks granted by your BAB.
Now, Two Weapon Fighting. Anyone can get one extra attack with no feats. TWF the feat only reduces the penalty for doing so. When you Two Weapon Fight, one or more weapons are declared the 'Off-Hand'and Can not be used in the main hand attacks. But in exchange you get an extra attack. No matter how many weapons you have you only get one extra attack. ITWF and GTWF grant even more attacks that can be made. But the number of weapons never increase the number of attacks you get.

burkoJames covers most of it.
Some additional specifics are that if you DO choose to take an extra attack with a second weapon via TWF then you MUST apply all of your iterative attacks from high BAB to your primary weapon... so that 11/6/1 routine would become; Blade A/Blade A/Blade A & Blade B OR Boot.
Natural attacks (e.g. bite, gore, et cetera) are handled separately and CAN be combined with manufactured weapon attacks (except when the natural weapon and manufactured weapon use the same appendage... i.e. no stabbing with a dagger held in the hand you are also making a claw attack with), but if you make even one non-natural weapon attack then all natural weapon attacks are treated as secondary attacks, get 0.5x strength to damage, and take a penalty to hit.
How would the boot blade interact with a two handed weapon?

Oh god. You opened up that can of worms. Alright.
Without quoting the labyrinth of unwritten assumptions made by the system and spelled out by various designers over the years -- While wielding a two handed weapon you can not use any weapon as an 'off-hand' weapon with the intent to get an extra attack. You could still insert a Boot blade attack into your attack sequence, but you can't get that bonus TWF attack.

Is this the part in the script where someone says "You don't have a leg to stand on, mate."?

That would be using two boot blades, which may have to be a hilarious concept I follow up on

You put your right leg in, you take your right leg out.
You put your left leg in and you shake it all about...|

If you have three arms can you make offhand attacks with two separate boot blades then? Or a boot blade and a boulder helmet I guess.
Not entirely clear. You get a potential offhand attack for each functional hand over the first... but I'm not aware of anything saying you can, or cannot, apply more than one offhand attack to 'non hand' weapons like a boot blade or boulder helmet.
In any case, you would likely need the Multiweapon Fighting feat to reduce the attack penalties for any scenario with three or more non-natural weapon attacks.
