I assume that writing about Windows internals requires knowledge of said internals? Or do you think he never had access to the source code and has never seen anything, not even ideas of algorithms?

You can get knowledge of the internals and ideas of the algorithms from reverse engineering the released Windows binaries

  Do you believe that is what Microsoft employees do while writing Windows Internals? I have serious trouble believing it. I'm not saying that it's not possible, just that it might not be the case there and these facts seem to confirm it.

      I'm not so sure, maybe he was a contractor if that's what you mean (I don't see any real difference). He had a @microsoft.com e-mail address, which is a pretty clear indicator of being on the inside.

AFAIK, he never had privileged access while he was still commiting to ReactOS.
