~~Adding somehow to what @sabbahillel stated in his answear, I would add this for OP's first point:~~
~~God is in relation to His people (and I think that's true about Adam). [Deuteronomy 8:5](https://www.sefaria.org/Deuteronomy.8.5?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=bi) says:~~
> Bear in mind that the LORD your God disciplines you just as a man disciplines his son.
I think in the same way in which children of Israel were brought to conquer Canaan, in the same way Adam had to get his position of ruler over the living things. And in this process, God didn't use Adam as a tool without will (as he didn't use children of Israel as a tool without will), but let Adam decide to obey Him or not (as He let the children of Israel to decide if to obey Him or not).
N.B. Although we can say that God uses His children or the enemies to fulfill His plans, He doesn't use them as a tool is used. He uses someone only according to his will.
