So I'm planning on building a second PC in the near future and using my current rig as a place for 'guest' gamers to join me. What I am trying to figure out is the best way to stream along with said guest.

Basically this is how I would want the setup to work-

New PC:
This will be my main gaming rig, and I will also be using this computer to run OBS, streaming alone will be straight forward and standard.

Old PC:
This will be my 'guest' PC. When I have someone else playing via this rig, I would like to somehow pull the webcam from this rig as well as their mic audio and put it on the stream being encoded on the new rig without any delay if possible. They would still need to be able to talk on mumble/TS/etc. and have full functionality.

I have a capture card which I will be placing in the new PC, I'm just not sure if there is any good way for me to pull their mic and webcam using that. I'm not sure if this is descriptive enough, it's hard for me to visualize how this setup will work. Any advice is appreciated. I've seen other streams that have multiple webcams/mics that seem to have no delay between the two so it seems possible!
 
Yea, most reliable would be to connect the webcam to the New PC in this case. Else you would need to use some external software to send the webcam video feed over.
For the microphone you have different options, best would be probably to get 2 XLR Mic's and a mixer to have a good control of your two voices and then use a headset with mic on each pc for TeamSpeak etc.
Another option would be to just use one microphone on each pc and use a local teamspeak server for example to get the voice over from the second pc, for example onto a virtual cable.
Another option would be to send the mic sound from the old pc over using the same channel as the desktop sound (so probably your capture card).
And there are probably even more ways to do it.
