I would say that he's preserving his humanity in the face of an unrelenting reality that has very, very slippery slopes instead. XD The Geass is just a tool, after all. I sure wouldn't want him to be like Light, though! Light is a been there, done that, bought the T-shirt. Lelouch is very much uncharted territory, and he's intriguing. Your summary sums that aspect of him up nicely and I have nothing to comment. <3
Lelouch's been wanting approval for a long time. He's been trying to get Suzaku to 'accept' the Kishidan since Episode 9, if you'll recall, though with very little success. XD I don't think he was even expecting SZK to join him at that point, but simply wanting a "maybe they COULD be right about some things". He's emotionally insecure despite being a really strong character.
See below. :D She didn't say much, but I don't think she was very pleased. The 'person she talks to' was teasing/asking after her relationship with Lelouch back in...12, I think, and he/she possibly thinks it's funny.
