He'll definitely find it tiresome and be politely but bluntly disinclined to deal with Templars unless/until it's an official Inquisition stance, but he'll otherwise answer her questions frankly and straightforwardly!
No signs or indication of that nature; his magic is called sorcery and he prefers to be called a sorcerer as he has fundamentally almost nothing in common with their mages beyond "does magic", but doesn't mind the association and has definitely aligned himself with them since arriving. Sorcery is essentially a channeling of divine might that he can explain to her in greater detail if she wants (will give a brief overview of sorcery-as-religion, the necessity of learning through a patron god, the fact that it isn't an inherent quality someone is born with but a skill that can be taught - like music, you can be more or less talented but you aren't born with a lute appendage). He will note that demonic possession is a completely new concept to him introduced by Thedas!
He's done very little magic as he's noticed it expends more energy here than it did at home and why use magic if you can use something else, reserving it for when it's worth the hassle; e.g. casting that barrier because he didn't have the option of using a weapon instead, using a spell to become literate in their local common tongue because he needed to be able to study Thedas to assimilate and acclimatize.
