There's a long debate on who's the secondary Rider of Blade, Tachibana or Hajime. So you're going with the former here. Tachibana's a secondary Rider that is normally amicable with the primary, something that is out of the norm at that time (and soon will be again), but I still don't know about how Tachibana turned hostile too to Kenzaki in his self-destructive phase at the first half of the series, despite their relationship before. Tachibana seems to show self-fulfilling prophecy, that your fear can make it real, but if you don't fear, you can expect much better outcome than you think.
Calling him amicable might be giving him a little too much credit. Certainly, the backstory shows him to be a better person and acting as a helpful sempai to Kenzaki, but this self-destructive phase has him going to extreme lengths to seal Undead out of his fear and now it looks like he's addicted to some kind of anti-fear plants Isaka used to experiment on him, making him betray Kenzaki for real. This guy can't catch a break. Some lyrics from Blade Brave stand out to me, "the sin of ignorance and the trap of knowing too much", they sound very relevant to his character arc at this point, with how he deludes himself that his fear isn't a problem and sucks at taking advice.

Once again this is about how both morality pets are terrible people, the insanely insolent Amane which is a thing that softens Hajime, despite that Amane puts everyone down in Hajime's favor (which can potentially stroke Hajime's ego further), and Hajime being the only one that can make Amane tone down of course.
For the other morality pet, are you referring to Haruka or Jin (not those guys from Amazons, haha)? Other than encouraging Amane's disrespect to Kotarou, Haruka seems to be mostly a good person who just wants to help Hajime work out his problems. Not really the best mother or big sister though, however, she does sometimes reprimand Amane's coldness to patrons. But yeah, I can see how being around Amane might have contributed to Hajime's rudeness, since those human emotions are being imprinted on him.

I think it makes sense for her to feel responsible for her father's mistake. That was also Gou's motivation for destroying Roidmudes, to erase his father's crime from existence and protect his sister from the truth that their father was a monster. But for Hirose, her father wasn't evil but merely misguided for using extreme methods to save his wife. Having the Rider System in advance is also preferable to being unprepared in the event that the Undead returned unexpectedly on their own. Even so, I can't blame Hirose for feeling that way, but maybe she should share that responsibility with others who are willing to help, instead of carrying it all alone.

He'd realize that he's useless though...
They do have that enthusiasm in common, although Kotarou considers himself to be a non-fiction science writer and talks about Kamen Riders the same way someone might talk about cryptids, whereas George is a lot more fanatical and wants to add his own vision to the story, rather than merely reporting on it. Other than that shared trait, I think George is a much more charismatic and useful character though, with how he makes every scene a performance and has a major effect on the plot.
