1) Whether it's slow or fast, it's the same kettle of fish. If you associate with Mamono, you will become a mamono or incubus yourself. It may take generations for the land to become a Demon Realm, but I promise you that it will not take generations for the people who associate with mamono to change.

2) This is an instance where I think you're thinking a little too literally. I'm kind of doubting that KC's intent behind the statement that "his body will be under her control" is that he can literally not make any sort of move without her say-so, even if not moving means he'd get hit by a train. Remember that KC has outright said that he uses a lot of hyperbole in his writing.

Outside of KC's direct statements that the statements that say "always this" or "always that" are generally hyperbole, I'd suggest also keeping in mind the way the setting, specifically Demonic Energy, works in general. Demonic Energy has this little quirk where-in it somehow magically acts to prevent any sort of real harm, so much so that mamono with claws and stabby bits can't actually kill with their claws or stabby bits (see Werewolf). It's the same reason that having sex with a Wurm isn't an instant death sentence (unless you get caught by t3h Order).

Why do I mention this? Because the magical component of the contract would, by necessity, be powered by Demonic Energy. As such, and by logical extension, it would not be capable of causing the person under the contract's death by restricting their ability to defend against or flee danger, because that's how Demonic Energy works. It's non-lethal magic(except possibly in instances of deliberate violence against someone who's harmed them or their family).

3) Obviously, pointing out your Freudian slip was not the best I could do, as it was the last thing I did. But I felt like ending on a lighter note. Did that suddenly become a crime while I wasn't looking?
