My PC has the Fey Beast Tamer Theme which allows a beast companion.
For combat do I roll initiative for the beast companion as well or does it act on my initiative count?
Also, does it share actions with my PC? Or does it get its own set of Standard, Move and Minor actions to spend?

It shares your actions, as detailed on p106 of the book.

Cool, thanks. One last thing though... pg 106 of which book exactly? I tried to look it up in the phb1 & 2, dmg1 & 2, mm and rules compendium but i didn't really see anything on beast companions.

I am currently playing a hybrid sentinel/shaman in LFR. I got challenged on moving all three tokens with a single move action.
I have the books with the shamans and beast master ranger entities but lack the physical source material for sentinels. Does shared move actions remain the same on hybrids? How does the main character getting restrained affect his pets?

Yes, a hybrid sentinel uses the same mechanics for his animal companion as a full sentinel.
When you take a move action (even you just use it to stay where you are), the animal companion can also take a move action. If you are restrained, it will have no effect on your pets.

While we're asking about Fey Beast Companions...
If my character has an item that makes him invisible until he attacks, can he remain invisible while his Beast Companion attacks?

Your action is to tell the beast to attack. You make the roll for the attack. By the rules of the game it is your attack.
The sea looks at the stabillity of the mountian and sighs.
The mountian watches the freedom of the sea and cries.

Yes.
In order for your fey best companion to attack, you need to spend a standard action to command it to do so. This command is not an attack - the beast companion is making the attack roll, not you.
Unlike summoned creature (ex. summon pack wolf), your fey beast companion has its own statistics. You do not attack "through" it.
