    RAW, you don't enter the square, so your summoned creatures can and do attack just fine. Doesn't make logical sense, but welcome to D&D.
    But the AMF states that Summoned creatures and incorporeal creatures who enter an AMF blink out of existence.

    The discussion isn't whether the monster enters the PC's square but whether the Monster with Reach can attack the PC who's inside the AMF while the monster is outside of it.

    Edit: But that's concerning the Action Economy, which we aren't discussing here.
