Bards can cast one level 3 spell at level 7 (2 at level 10). AFAIK their song and their spell should affect summoned creatures. I don't see why not, but I don't usually bother with the tactic, so if someone else knows better, then please inform the ignorant amongst us!
Bards are versatile; not having backstab is a minor annoyance. If you search on this board you'll see many debates that extoll the virtues of the mage and how their abilities can compensate (if not improve upon) a thief's abilities. In fact, the only thing that spells in BG cannot improvise is pick pockets, and bards get that anyway.
