I heard that in some cultures genies are enslaved demons and malicious compliance is the only way they have left to fight back
That would be the Djinn
genie is the djinn, it's just an anglicized version of the same word. they're not demons and the enslaved part is mostly just fairy tales. culturally the djinn are just unseen people, living in some sort of parallel state of being that doesn't affect humans and vice versa. some believe they can sometimes interact or appear as well.
just like humans they are supposed have free will, can be good or bad people, believe in god or not, and even face judgment after death like humans as well.
Yes.
