On page 60 of the Unearthed Arcana there's the Rapid Summoning (Ex) variant that allows the caster to summon as a standard action and gains the benefits of the Quicken Spell feat.

Does that mean that the caster can cast another spell (one that is a free action by the looks of it)?

Does it also mean that the summoned creature appears, can only perform a standard action, and then disappears at the end of that turn for 1st level casters?

It means that since you can cast Summon spells as standard actions, that you can apply Quicken Spell to those spells - making them free actions.
Not sure I'd do it that way myself - SM1 as a 5th level spell is unimpressive, compared to casting MM quickened followed by SM5 as your normal spell for the round. *shrug*

And one could argue that the creature would disappear at the start of the caster's next action. Since the spell has a duration of one round.
