Is it Bob and me then?

Yes.
"Me", if it's the object. "I" if it's the subject.

Yep.
You wouldn't say "Mum invited I to spend Christmas with them", and it doesn't matter how many others she invited.

Okay, so if I was going somewhere

Yes
because you're the people doing the action, i.e. the subject of the sentence. If you're having something done to you, e.g. being invited to somewhere, then you would be the object of the sentence.

The full explanation is more complicated than that, but that's the general rule.

Except that a full explanation wouldn't really be complicated. You've just about given it here.
