But he still confronts a part-timer who follows Nyelv's orders and executes him, which seems contradictory, and got me to think he didn't know about Nyelv's plan.

I think it's more down the middle. He was piecing together Nyelv's plan, but he needed the verification from the part timer to truly get it.
Since in the last episode, all he really saw was Nyelv drop off the human presses and then Shouma and Nyelv enter through a gateway together, so he didn't know the entirety of the plan.

Based on Nyelv's line "I value my own life, too" it's evident that it's less of a backstab and more Nyelv was given the ultimatum of kill Shouma or die.
