They do need to roll eventually rolling to wake up in case of danger....

I can see few reasons but still some. You may want to forget some dark secret before (or when) being inquired....

I would allow it although it's a bit weird you are rolling against yourself. You can also argue you don't need to resist as you are letting yourself being mesmerized....

Quicken sight and aiming: "...he can benefit from aiming instantly", does that mean the full maximum 3 dices bonus or only the first turn of aiming is applying in the same turn you use quicken sight?
If aiming becomes reflexive while Quicken sight is active, I'd rather go for the 3 dices bonus, not sure though.
