So here come the questions:

Can I throw multiple alchemist fires per round?

If you have them in hand - yes. Unfortunately, Alchemist Fire/Tanglefoot bags/Acid/Holy Water are not weapons or weapon-like objects - so you can't quickdraw them.

Can I use credits to buy alchemist fire or vials of acid of different energy type?

that's probably a discussion unto its own. I'm inclined to say no - but only because I don't like adding items whole-cloth. We could have a discussion in the Council about it if you like.

Would I need a custom version of efficient quiver to hold/use alch. fire, bolas, nets, and thrown magic items?

Technically, since we don't worry about how you actually carry items, you wouldn't need an efficient quiver-like item unless you wanted some way to reduce your carried weight. If that's the goal though, I don't know if we could allow it - again this would be creating an item whole-cloth.

Using these feats/BAB, can you throw multiple animals from a bag of tricks each round?

No - activating a magic item like this is a standard action.

Using these feats/BAB, can you throw multiple fireballs from a necklace of fireballs each round (also, deck of illusions, dust of illusion, soverign glue, etc.)? Alternately, if I had multiple of each item, could I throw one from each item in a round?

No again - activating a magic item is a standard action.

For credits, could I get necklace of fireballs with only one orb on them (assuming there is an agreed on calculation for it)?

If there is a formula for it - yes we could come up with credits for it (5 credits - same item type with different "bonus"). I haven't checked for a formula - but if there is one, knock yourself out.

Can a custom necklace of fireballs have other area effect spells (bane, burning hands, grease, entangle, faerie fire, etc.)?

We already have these kinds of things with the "tokens" that people pick up with Gather information.

Once the owner has filled it, the quiver can produce any item she wishes, as if from a regular quiver or scabbard

This doesn't mean that all items are produced from the quiver as if it was ammunition, but as if it was drawn as per normal. So a javelin is still a move action, an arrow is still a free action.

Re: Items with faster casting times

I am reluctant to approve that type of item because we get quickly into the area of if you have a lot of credits - you can abuse it. If you don't have a lot of credits you can't. Combine this with the fact that quickened spells still have a maximum of one per round (and then being able to cast a regular casting-time spell separately) and this means I would not be too keen on seeing a guy throw 5-6 orbs of quickened burning hands at opponents in a single round.

Re: Thrown Weapons as "weaponlike"

To be clear here, thrown weapons are "weaponlike." Javelins, Spears, Throwing axes, Darts, bolas, nets - etc. What are not "weaponlike" are grenade-like items - Acid, Alchemist fire, Tanglefoot bag, holy water and thunderstones. Wands and Dorjes are weaponlike as well.
