His anti-authoritarianism is misplaced, though I get the idea that's his Daddy issues talking. He's willing to screw over everyone so that he can accomplish his short-term objectives. Oh well, it's not the first time he's strayed from the path. We can only hope that he finds the way back before the end.
I would argue the opposite. Roy is clearly recognizing that he does not understand the full picture. He is making a calculated decision that he must act in a way that is within his realm of competence towards an apparently achievable goal: save everyone person living on this world from a sudden death. Such is not in opposition to Thor's plan, as least not yet. In fact, Thor's plan is not really a plan, but more of a useful idea that could work and might prove very valuable in the long term.

Roy is not unwilling to talk to Redcloak and follow Thor's suggestion to Durkon, but he is recognizing that it is difficult to imagine such will succeed while Xykon is around.

Furthermore, the gods are provably not working towards a long term solution for the Snarl in any concerted way, as demonstrated by the vote and no apparent general interest in quidity arising in the pre-vote discussion. We can presume that a Thor and, at best, a small number of gods are very interested in the potential for TDO being part of a long term solution.
