Yes, you're right. I was going with the version in the CB, and the wording was different.I don't think this works like you think it works. The attack is against the creature that entered the square, i.e. ally/companion in your case. Not something you want to do.
The typical elf archer ranger build will work fine, with maybe a few tweaks if you want to contribute a little extra to the party hit point pool, or pick a few utilities for your companion.
