Myne has a couple of zingers like that in the series. My favorite is "Bookless scrub!"
I liked that, to be honest. Yes, he pissed me off as well but it felt like a kid trying desperately to live up to the expectations placed upon him. It's not his fault that there were adults placed in his retinue who were trying to manipulate him. I take an annoying child every time over a supposedly child that somehow makes calculated and adult decisions.
The foreshadowing is insane in the series. One of my gripes with light novels is that it often feels like there is no direction, so seeing a series that is planned through from beginning to end really sticks out.
About the other points, let's wait until you finished the series, since I don't want to spoil anything. I hope you'll make such a detailed post for the entire series once you finished it. No pressure ;)
