this may answers all or almost most of the questions.
the reason why Bauen is loyal to Garlemald is that he got saved by a soldier from the empire when he was about to get killed by a band of thieves during one of his trips to the northern lands and to pay his debt with the one who saved him, he decided to serve the empire.
when he met Sannan at the beginning he was following orders from his superiors, but after some time he felt bad for sannan for the fact that he may live a lonely life and Bauen decided to stay with sannan but sometimes he was forced to leave sannan alone for a while to follow some other orders from his superiors.
the reason why sannan is between defecting the empire or not is because
he can't betray Bauen (which was his only friend) after all the stuff he did for him.
sannan didn't like how things were in the empire and at some point he was thinking in trying to escape from Garlemald but he was scared of getting caught and receiving a possible brainwashing.
what drives sannan from living was his curiosity about the things that Bauen told him about the world aswell as about animals.
