I'll put your queries to rest. Here we go:

1. The question of whether Haise is Kaneki is trivial. At this point, we as readers can almost say for certain that Haise is indeed Kaneki, but then what? If he truly is Kaneki, literally NOTHING changes.

2. Kaneki/Haise joining the CCG is by no means bizarre. If you recall the events of Tokyo Ghoul, post-Yamori Kaneki's main goal was to take down the Aogiri tree. He did so because the Aogiri tree is a group that kills indiscriminatly and uses toys with people's lives for their personal gains. Also keep in mind of certain things:

1. Kaneki tries to stay away from murder

2. The CCG is NOT primarily a ghoul extermination organization.

The 2nd clause of the Ghoul-Counter-Plan even states it is forbidden to harm a ghoul more than needed. It would have been very much in Kaneki's interests to join the CCG, as it would allow him to save people lives from being ruined while being as humane as possible.

3. His name changing probably isn't too important to the plot. From a literary standpoint, I would say "Haise" is to symbolize the human side of Kaneki. From a logical standpoint, it only goes as far as for formality purposes.
