Gaius lost support from the motherland when political issues arose in the courts back in Garlemald so he's acting entirely on his own now, which would make them a large military force but not a large government. If you're going to pick and choose your clients in that way then you're not really true neutral, you still have a moral ground you're standing on. If you wanted to be truly neutral mercenaries you'd work for anyone, anywhere, doing anything so long as they could pay you.
The Garlean empire's goal would run them right out of business. So... no. They'd be killing themselves if they allowed themselves to be hired out to them. They're neutral in that they fight for both "good" or "bad," but they are going to be careful about which jobs they take. Just grabbing whatever money is thrown to you isn't always the best idea, yeah?
They aren't so desperate, Ash. XD

This, exactly. The risks and their employer's goal are taken into consideration and they'll fight for whichever side side suits them best. They won't be fighting blindly, it just wouldn't make sense.
