If, for example, you target the illusion with a spell or psionic ability that would be interaction. If you are a bard and you play or sing music to the illusion, that would be interaction. If you engage the illusion in shouted conversation (two-way conversation that is, not just yelling at it!) from 30 feet away that is interaction. Even if the illusion reacts appropriately you are still interacting with it and still get any save allowed for interaction. In general you cannot use an illusion to inflict illusory damage (even subdual damage) unless it is in the spell description. See the "quasi-real" spells shadow conjuration and shadow evocation as examples. As far as multiple creatures created with one illusion, that depends on the spell description. For example, silent image creates an "illusion of an object, creature, or force..." so can only make one creature. Shadow conjuration, on the other hand says "illusions of one or more creatures, objects, or forces" and "can mimic any sorceror or wizard conjuration spell of 3rd level or lower" so can mimic a monster summoning III for example and make illusions of up to 1d4+1 creatures from the 1st-level summon monster list.</blockquote>
