Being "On the front" might be a vague way of saying "I've been working with the resistance." That kind of double talk and misdirection is vital when operating a large clandestine spy network.
This. The lore has stated that the Resistance is still very much alive and well in Gyr Abania.
I took Pipin's line to mean that he had been working with the Resistance in an individual capacity, or as has been said, with the Ala Mhigan Flames cohort. As Raubahn's adopted son, it's possible that Pipin is himself also 'Mhigan and thus has an interest in freeing AM.
And I expect the liberation of Ala Mhigo to be expansion pack #2, as it seems to me to be the most logical step after Havensward. After that I would expect perhaps an expansion around Sharlayan, and on from there (following FFXI's pattern), areas outside of Eorzea.
