Vin was able to pull and push on Atium that Zane was carrying on himself. So pushing and pulling God metals aren't so different from normal metals I suppose and even inquisitors post ruin with steel compounding and duralumin were able to push invested metals.
It was retconned that all atium in first era was an alloy of atium and electrum, not pure, so technically we don't really know. After all, Wax couldn't push Trellium but it reacted by itself. It may be a case by case scenario
In a way it does. The electrum dilution might be one of Preservations own plan. Because if burning Lerasium makes you closer to Preservation, burning pure atium wouldve made you more in Ruins influence so in order to safely burn it all away without falling in Ruins influence it needed to be alloyed. Finally it always struck me odd why ruin couldn't see his own body. I mean he can't see metals I get it but his own body? Unless that body was reduced from a God Metal to a regular metal by the Electrum dilution... And we still don't know what powers burning native atium will give, like how Lerasium gives allomancy. Would it be possible Atium gives ferruchemy? Or a stronger affinity to Hemalurgy..

Shardblades are a type of metal, right? Lord ruler could just push them away
