1)Actually Kuzan is japanese
2)I would hate if his is just undercover. For me this would trash the character, just a typical shonen writing
3) There are some characters that oda makes a puzzle along the story to explain in the end game, for instance, Kuma. Now we know everyrhing about Kuma, but before was a puzzle. Kuzan will be the same (I'm not saying he gonna have a flashback, I dont think he will)
Yeah I know hes Japanese lol, but theres this too, he could be both Somanlian and Japanese:
The Admirals are based on Japanese actors ofc but Kizaru seems far more Italian with his outfit, name and even design. Like Italo Disco vibes too.

Same here, far too predictable/cliche but Im scared Oda is gonna go down this route, he really loves traitor storylines for a few arcs now. It could be great if handled right I guess but I prefer a more nuanced, grey area, rogue, anti-hero arc for him, not just a good guy undercover as you said.
These type of storylines tend to end with the spy dying too, thats what I'm dreading too. He was meant to kill Saul and Robin and spared their lives and I think he spared Garp in some way here too, like the theory he purposely put the icicle through where Shiryu stabbed him to stop the bleeding and thus block the wound, to not make a new wound and injure Garp more too.

Yeah I really hope you're right, Oda handling of Kuma lately is giving me some hope but given how hes handled Kidd, Kaido, Zoro and some others, I also am losing hope too ironically.
