As for casting while wielding a 2-handed weapon, you're right too.
Using the inventory will probably take a standard action, cut to a move action with a feat.
I would suggest leaving it a move action and with quickdraw a free action but removing the immunity to AoO. It would be best if the game could do AoO after you return from the inventory screen and follow what you done while you were there.Just equiping a weapon or a shield or a wand should not provoke AoO, but almost anything else should (removing/equiping armors, removing weapons or shields from the hand).
