Does Volcano Manor lock any quests?

If you do the quest lines located inside the Volcano Manor itself, just make sure you don't kill the boss associated with it until you've finished them. It can lock you out of quest rewards, some of them being really nice. It's entirely optional though, and doesn't impact the main story as far as I'm aware.

Why did Bernahl invade you?

I believe he invades you in Farum because you simply got in his way. He was about to pick up that item that lets you deflect Maliketh's blade. Basically, Bernahl himself was going to fight and try to kill Maliketh for Rykard (whom he serves iirc). The Blasphemous Claw seems to be already in possession for Rykard.
