I'll answer what questions I can.
I've heard good things about the Blade and Skald Bard kits, but haven't tried either. Both will be fairly underpowered until ToB, when they should be decent.
As for the Romance, your romance will continue even if your lover isn't turned into a vampire by Bohdi (i'm pretty sure). The real problem comes when you finish SoA, if the romance isn't at a certain point, it won't continue AT ALL in ToB. I learnt that the hard way...
As for mages, have you ever heard of summoning spells? Early on, and later in the game, they can help alot. Also, say there is a large group of enemies around the corner (say the warden in the planar sphere). Cast improved invis. on your mage, then cast two web spells where you know the warden to be, then greater malison, followed by stinking cloud to knock him out, followed by cloudkill to kill his umber hulks, and hurt him, and follow that with a fireball to finish him off. If he's still alive hit him with a magic missle for fun. Your tanks won't even get in the battle. The main thing with a mage is the fun of strategizing the perfect spells for the job. Thats why I prefer mage to sorceror - much more spell choice.
