If I have a Tyrant with Acid Blood and Lash+Bone. Do the wounds inflicted by Acid Blood follow the instant death rules for the Bonesword?

No.

Boneswords state: "No armour saves may be taken against wounds inflicted in close combat by a Tyranid with a bonesword"
Acid Blood States: "[...] must pass an initiative test or suffer a wound."

Acid Blood does NOT state that the tyranid inflicted the extra wounds, only that the models suffer an extra wound, which is not caused by the tyranid itself.

However it DOES follow the rules for lash whips, meaning anyone in base contact takes their init test at I1...

Correct, because, unlike Sweeping Advance, Characteristic Tests use whatever your characteristic is at the time, not the Unmodified Value.
