Rules clarification on economy of actions, and spells


Rules Questions

I have a 7th level crossblooded (draconic - bronze/abyssal) sorcerer/8th level dragon disciple who is wielding a bastard sword. So the question is can I do the following:

1) take full attack and take my 2 iterative attacks from my +9 BAB,
2) cast a quicken intensified empowered shocking grasp as a swift action
3) take my free touch attack to hit the creature

Could I instead use my claw attack to deliver the shocking grasp?

Does the empowered enhance the bonus damage from the bloodline arcana so it becomes (10d8+10) * 1.5 or is it 10d8*1.5 + 10?

Yes, you can do 1)-3)

No, you get one free touch attack by casting that spell. Only if that attack does not hit you are holding the charge of the spell and can then deliver that charge with a natural attack.

Not sure about the last one. I would argue that the bonus damage from the bloodline is not a part of the spell and thus is not empowered, but I could be wrong there.

I'm pretty sure you don't. I know I've read it somewhere regarding the Wizard Admixture bonus, but I can't recall
