Some creatures in the MM have the Multiattack ability. If they match the requisites, I am right to assume that they can use Multiattack and two-weapon fighting? If one of this monsters get fighter levels, i.e. "multiclassing", will you consider multiattack as extra attack and thus not allowing them to stack, as per multiclassing rules? Or will you allow to stack them?

"Multiattack" is an action, and an "Attack Action" is a different kind of action. Things that trigger off an Attack action don't trigger off Multiattack. They would have to choose one or the other.

I haven't gone through the MM exhaustively, but I just checked 6 or so Multiattack descriptions and they were all very specific on the form of the multiple attacks: "the x makes two attacks with its y", or other specific descriptions. Do you have a specific monster in mind?
