if you use both weapons, yes, you need to make it a full round attack...

sneak attack works fine, on both attacks, but again, you need the full round

With two-weapon fighting, you get an extra attack every round with your off hand during a full attack action. You can't get the extra attack with just a standard attack action, that still only allows one attack. So yes, if you attack with both weapons, it's a full attack action, and all you get is a 5' step. If you move more than that, you can only attack with one weapon.

As far as two weapon fighting and sneak attack goes, if you have a chance to make more than one sneak attack in a round, you get sneak attack damage on all the attacks that hit. Where you're getting multiple attacks from is irrelevant.

If a TWF rogue and a fighter have someone flanked, and the rogue takes a full attack action, all the attacks, from both hands, are sneak attacks. Same thing applies if the rogue can get a full attack against someone who's lost their dexterity bonus for one reason or another.
