I don't know if this occurs for anyone else.......BUT:

1) Does anyone find that your party becomes split-up from coming from SoA to ToB, so that some of the party is in that new Forest area, and the rest are wherever your party was before the transfer.

2)The romance suddenly gives up, even though I KNOW that I didn't say anything to stop that particular romance.

3) Has anyone else experienced a sudden change of alignment, that even Shadow keeper cannot change (NO, I didn't cheat up to that point, so don't say "Oh, its because you cheat too much" cos I reserve shadowkeeper for EMERGENCIES ONLY) It went from Lawful neutral to neutral evil, ruining my choices in the conversations by limiting my selections.

4) Following that last point is that my character was a mage of Lawful neural alignment, so my Familiar was a ferret, but once I released my familiar and picked him/her back up again, it had changed into the picture of a rabbit with the ferret description, an if released again, just dissappears.

5)Finally, even though I no longer have a familiar, I can't summon a new one and it tells me I already have one.

Any help would be appreciated.

1) Get the patch. You can find it here on SP in the Games --> BG2 ---> Misc (I think).

2) The alignment change was due to you taking at least on evil path in hell in the 5 challenges.

I'm not sure about the rest. Hopefully the patch should solve some of them. (The patch definitely fixes the splitting up party bug).

Number one can be fixed by the patch, I know I have experienced it first hand and got some funny screenshots too ;). The alignment change may have occured due to your actions in Hell as how you accomplished each Tear of Bhaal Test can have affects on your alignment. This in turn gives you the familiar predicament, all I can tell you is get patched and possibly load a savegame in Hell if you are up to it, or just go with the flow now.

Odd thing is that im sure I didn't do anything bad in hell, and doesn't it seem odd how a single evil thing makes you instantly evil, it kinda makes being neutral a little difficult. And does it work the same way after the patch?

in hell, did you do any of the following:

Kill the dragon
Use the cloak of nymph skin
Kill the Djinn
Have a party member or peasant killed
Use rath agains Sarevok, ie; warp into slayer mode to kill him

any of these are considered evil
