If i write a custom program for the esp8266 and upload it, will it then still respond to AT commands over the serial bus or will i need to handle all serial input via the serial bus manually in my program?

No.
Arduino upload to the ESP8266 overwrites the AT program. You can, of course, reinstall the AT binary.
If you need an interpreter to run code, try the ESP8266 BASIC.
Also, there are other good interpreters such as microPython, Forth, Javascript...
It is fairly easy to write your own "serial command" language in Arduino... assuming you do not get too complicated, the parser should be straightforward.

Thank you for the reply, I assumed that would be the case but thought it would be worth asking. I have quite a bit of programming experience so writing a serial parser shouldn't be a problem.
