I can see them but it doesn't look like I can invite them or add them as a friend. Starter Accounts also don't seem to be able to add someone with real id. It's weird because you can normally invite and play with people from the opposite faction.

I believe that you'll need to subscribe, to be able to play with your friend. According to Blizzard Support:
On the Starter Edition you will not have access to:
- Most recent expansion content (quests, zones, allied characters, etc)
- Characters above level 20
- Pet Battles
- Other chat channels and whispers to non-friends
- All guild-related functions
- Value added services (character transfers, faction changes, etc)
- Party formation
- Trade, mail, or the Auction House
- Real ID
- World of Warcraft voice chat. You can use Battle.net voice chat instead
- The Emote function in text chat
(emphasis mine)

Blizzard is not completely right about their own game. You are able to form a party with a starter account. It just looks you are not able to do it with the other faction. I was forced to make a character on the same faction. Just if someone else wants to know. The rest of this list seems to be true.– MerlCommented Aug 12 at 17:11
