Silken whip is a decent offhand, but CSS is basically the same with better stats, super common and below 1k. Offhand damage sucks for a long time though, don't bother too much with it.
Swiftblade is pretty awesome at level 20, will still be good at 30, I would stick with it.
With your budget, you simply won't get a decent haste item, don't worry about it.
Archery is based of dex, not your displayed melee atk. With 85 dex you will miss your arrows and you will do awful damage.
There is no double attack for range (argueable with BFG but that's end-game stuff).
I would go back to silver swiftblade, sell the velium weap and save for a haste item.
Keep pulling mobs with bows to raise the archery skill but do not expect anything from it for a long time (45+ and some dex gear at the very minimum).
Does that cover it?
