My interpretation of the published rules is that all of your attacks that come about because you have taken the Attack Action (including Extra Attack and bonus action attacks from Shield Mastery and Two Weapon Fighting) are part of the Attack Action, and the bonus action modifies the Attack Action by adding another attack.To interpret otherwise (as Jeremy Crawford is now doing in earnest) is to say that you can break up your Attack Action with movement, with communication, with a flourish including brief utterances and gestures, or by interacting with an object in your environment, during your move or your action. The only thing you can't do during your Attack Action is make an attack. You have to make all of your attacks before you have completed your Action and can make your other attack. Open a door? Sure, no problem. Shove someone with your shield? Nope! You have to finish your attacks first. Why? Because it's an attack!And he claims this is to keep it simple.</blockquote>
