He hasn't been imprisoned in the Shadow of the Past chapter. That's later, and Saruman was still head of the Order in the War of the Ring |

He was willing to badmouth his own superior, Saruman, both to Frodo & at the Council of Elrond (a public dissing). His restraint from criticism wasn't 100%. |

Probably, yes. Unless a scene will be given showing the Necromancer reviving him after he dies in a cave or intervening to prevent death or something like that. The juxtaposition of the rise... |

Well there's no indication I recall from Tolkein it was a diff. staff he had in TLotR after the Hobbit (pre-death), so for Tolkein it's the same, PJ providing a diff. one. |
