Im thnking about taking Magic Initiate at level 8 with the following in mind
Catrips - Booming Blade, Green-Flame Blade
LVL 1 Spell - Find Familiar
Couple of questions:
1. Is this even a viable option for my character?
2. Could i still attack twice (Currently wielding a Magic Necrotic Dagger and a Short Sword) and utilise both cantrips or even one cantrip and a normal attack.
3. Are there any better options for my character with regard to the cantrip and spell choices?
According to the Two Weapon Fighting rules, you can only use your bonus action for an attack when you take an attack action. Using those Cantrips you’re taking the cast a spell action so you can’t still take your bonus action for a second attack.
Despite how useful a familiar is, I’d consider the Alert feat instead for your character.

You don’t need both Booming and Green Flame. I would recommend just using Booming and taking a utility Cantrip for the other.
