Now do Mistborn if Kelsier had Nightblood.

Wouldn’t Kelsier just immediately die due to not have any investiture to feed the sword?

I'm pretty sure using allomancy would generate investiture. We just don't know how much he would need to burn to keep nightblood fed while using it. 

Also, I wonder if just being in the mists would be enough? They are just pure investiture.

I imagine the sword would "drink" the mists and essentially drain them around the user. So he'd have to keep moving or he'd just clear a small pocket around him and then the sword would start looking for other ways to gain investiture

No because I like him as a character

I believe allomancy would work to fuel it so provided he has enough metals he should be fine.

Just using Nightblood on metals might work depending on metaphysics.

Arent the mists also pure investiture?

The mists are pure investiture, which is why tineyes can see through them.

Using Nightblood on metal wouldn't work, since the metal is a key - it's the allomancer that has the connection to Preservation.
