I also found what you wrote about the 5' move. Then later it states when your actions are restricted you ONLY get a move or a standard action (emphasis mine). I then googled the question and pretty much everyone says they would allow the 5' step. Which makes me lean even more toward allowing the 5' step.
As for the construct, I have a psion too and I questioned the wording. But the duration says 1 round per level. So to me it would mean 1 rnd of action. Just like the summon monster spells. I've always thought the duration for summoning spells was stupid. At lower levels it's almost a waste of a spell.
Anyways, until I find evidence to the contrary, I will allow a 5' step during a surprise round. When I have time, I will take a look in my old dragon magazines in the sage advise. Maybe skip Williams had answered that question before.
