The general specifically can activate whenever he wishes, because he has his special general's order, but commander's do not. So if a commander has the attack order, is he forced to activate during attack order activation sequence or can he wait and use his order as a move instead like commanders can?
Or if he's under hold orders and some other units with hold orders have already activated, can he still activate with a move order instead of his hold?

Re: Nobles and activation sequence
In answer to your first question yes, you can use either (if they have joined to a unit they can use the move order too) the attack or move order but must do it in the usual sequence order. So you must activate all Feral units, then one attack order alternating with Move until one or the other runs out.
My gut would say you'd have to use a hold order due to the activation sequence but I'd rather let Rob answer this specific one.

It's all on p120, IV.II.II - ACTIVATION SEQUENCE scroll and p135, 5.1.2.2 - COMMANDERS, although there is a little common sense required.
Commanders indicate whether they're using a MOVE order to perform an action, if they're not under those orders.
If a Commander is under an ATTACK order he just indicates whether he's using his ATTACK order or his MOVE order when it comes around to him. Of course, if you activate him and he's the first unit to activate with ATTACK orders, he MUST use his ATTACK order. If he's the second unit under ATTACK orders to activate, he can use his MOVE order. And so on... basically, if you're activating him and a unit under ATTACK orders has to activate, and he's the one you're activating, he's got to use his ATTACK order.
Cheers
