So the optional class feature Nature's Veil is like this:
Nature’s Veil
10th-level ranger feature, which replaces the Hide in Plain Sight feature You draw on the powers of nature to hide yourself from view briefly. As a bonus action, you can magically become invisible, along with any equipment you are wearing or carrying, until the start of your next turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Doesn't this mean that it works like Greater Invisibility where I can go invis at the start of the round and just blast the enemies with advantage? Isn't it like a good Elven Accuracy build?

So, my interpretation of this rule would be that, no, it's not like Greater Invisibility because that lets you make attacks while still being invisible and remaining invisible even after the attacks are made. This simply grants invisibility, which, if similar to the spell, would go away when you make an attack. The attack action would break the invisibility.
You magically become invisible. You are not under the effects of the invisibility spell. Invisible is one of the formal listed conditions, you don't have to be under the effects of the invisibility spell as the only way to gain this condition. This is one such way, and as such, you are not limited by the rule of the spell that you cannot attack without losing the condition.
Nature's Veil has nothing to do with Invisibility or other spell and feature that also let you become invisible. Each are distinct game element with unique duration. Some end when attacking hile others don't but its not a feature from the condition itself but rather the game element granting it.

Yes.
Temporary greater invisibility.
Well that's fun XD
Sounds legit to me! Invisible. Fire a few arrows... move 35 feet while remaining invisible. Perfect!

Yep, it's a perfect combo with Elven Accuracy. Note also that as written it doesn't require concentration; you simply 'blink' out for a few seconds.
Frankly, my dear, I'd rather be listening to Rehn Stillnight.
Also the movement either draws no AoO or they are at disadvantage - it’s really hard to hit something your not even sure is there 😁

While invisible you should not provoke Opportunity Attack, even at disadvantage, as they cannot see you.
Thanks, couldn’t remember the rule off the top of my head and wasn’t going to go look it up so I worded it that way.
