[Slight spoilers, but nothing if you've already played chapter 3, which I believe you did]

Just wanted to point out one thing. If you play a thief->fighter, you will not be able to chose the evil way of doing chapter 3 with Bodhi.
I can't help you with your SK questions, but I know it might be possible to use SK to allow Bodhi to accept you. Or dual to fighter before speaking to Bodhi (kind of difficult, seeing how you want to dual at level 15). Or, if it is possible, and if you want to keep the composition of your party, maybe it's better to change Haer'Dalis to thief->fighter and play the cleric/mage with a PC.
Just my thoughts. Although it is perfectly acceptable for an evil party to do chapter 3 with the shadow thieves, you would want to do it with Bodhi for the experience (and I don't mean XP).
