But if the latter then he should be put away.

Wow! He must have some really long control lines!

Our local Air Base has made it illegal to fly RPVs for this very reason. I called the base Point of Contact to ask about C/L aircraft, but the captain didn't act like he understood what I was talking about...until I said "You know, the models your grandfather may have flown." Then he said, "Yeah, I don't know if they are illegal. Let me call you back." Good thing I'm not holding my breath waiting!

A twin-engined airliner generated a lot of wake turbulence -- more than would be shown as a two-turn spin at the end of the video.

Difficult to say for sure, the way the airliner approaches very rapidly then shows down to a crawl as it passes below and then speeds up going away without the camera motion slowing in sync. Would suggest that the airliner is a 3D CGI model and superimposed over live drone footage. Which is exactly what I did in the youtube clip below. It is live footage pulled into the 3D CGI application. Match up the direction of the ambient light, let the live video run in the background, add the 3D CGI created model, mix in sound effects and there you have it.

Hard to tell, although it's just a matter of time before some irresponsible twit does this for real.  And when the drone impacts the commercial airliner I will be so thankful that I'm no longer a member of the AMA (Academy of Multirotors & ARFs)...thus avoiding being part of the massive class-action lawsuit!
