I don't think the Jared situation would have been a problem. First because she would never have known anything about Jared so it's not like it would even occur to her to confide in him. Second, at that point Paige wouldn't be expected to have sufficient zeal about anything. Philip can be reported on because he's taken an oath and is doing the job. It would be no big news to the KGB that the American tenth grader isn't loyal to the KGB.
He's already shown he'll step up to the plate to protect his family, and he's shown a side of himself that has a complete lack of ethics about certain things you don't do (even if he tries to convince himself and his parents he's "still a good person").
That's an interesting question in itself. I don't think Henry's a bad person for breaking into the neighbor's house (his justifications did show an ethical stance in that he wasn't hurting anyone or stealing anything etc.), but he still recognized the conflict between what he did and being a good person. But then, he and Paige sort of mirror Philip and Elizabeth in the way they approach these things, and I'm not sure either position is clearly more or less that of a good person.
