1. Akin likes Ed, even if, after their last conversation, he seriously worries about humans with Ed's powers (who are not Ed). It kind of reassured him that even when humans do terrible things, other humans are like 'wait... what?'. He still doesn't understand why things like that are so important, but part of it is that Oankali aren't hierarchical -- everyone is equal and the only way to get listened more to is to know more, and it's still a matter of consensus (not even voting -- decisions when part of the group disagrees are rare).
He also likes that Jace and Ed have each other. Because... well, Jace and Bones are the two remaining Canises (Canii?) who have been here longer than he has, and Akin can appreciate that older team members have to take on more duties to teach the new team members. So having someone Jace doesn't have to mentor is good.
(I don't remember if you play anyone else.)
2. It was... well, uncomfortable, since it's been the first time he had fully human senses while remembering his old ones. (Old Sabra memories don't count, and his more human-like child form still had a bunch of upgrades over bog-standard human.) Plus, well, Akin is temperamental for a construct*, and having to suddenly deal with a human brain made him even more so. And, there was the whole metal limbs thing, which just felt wrong and off that he couldn't feel anything through them.
Reverse?
* Not that you can tell most days, even in Murdercave. About the closest he's come to losing it was in Chika's nightmare.
