Is it like the esper guy said, that Mikuru is just faking her acting to win over Kyon?

It's called growing up and becoming mature.

2가지 가설이 있죠.
첫 번째는, 현재의 미쿠루는 정말 아무것도 모르는 순진한 상태여서 하루히의 강요에 의해 끌려다니는 입장에 속해 있다는 가설과,
두 번째는, 현재의 미쿠루 역시 미래의 미쿠루와 마찬가지로 무언가 계획을 가지고 일부러 순진한 척 '연기'를 한다는 가설입니다.
미쿠루의 작중 대사로 '저랑 너무 친하게 지내지 마세요'가 있는 점과, SOS단 내에서 미쿠루의 대인 관계가 쿈과 하루히를 제외하면 어찌보면 다소 동떨어진 것처럼 보일 수도 있기에 미쿠루가 작품 내의 흑막이라는 이야기가 나오는 것도 무리는 아닙니다.
하지만 개인적인 생각으로는, 현재의 고등학생 미쿠루는 정말 극히 제한된 정보만을 가진 채, SOS단 내에서 비교적 수동적인 관찰자 입장을 취하는 것이라고 생각합니다. 미쿠루가 흑막이라기에는 작품 내 굵직한 사건 등을 직접적으로 일으키는 발단이 되거나 본인의 목적을 달성하기 위해 책략을 꾸미는 장면 등이 거의 없기 때문에 미래의 미쿠루는 어떨지 모르겠으나, 고등학생 미쿠루는 그저 하나의 무고한 소녀라고 보는 편이 더 적절한 관점이 아닐까 싶습니다.

Below is the translated version by Papago, which may contain inaccurate and/or misleading expressions. Too bad my English isn't good enough.

There are two hypotheses.
The first is the hypothesis that Mikuru is in an innocent state of really ignorance and is being dragged around by Haruhi's coercion.
Second, the current Mikuru, like the future Mikuru, has a plan and acts "acting" as if he is innocent on purpose.
Mikuru's line in the drama, "Don't get too close to me," and Mikuru's interpersonal relationship within the SOS group may seem a bit far apart except for Kyon and Haruhi, so it's not too much to say that Mikuru is a black screen in the work.
But personally, Mikuru, a current high school student, is taking a relatively passive observer position within the SOS group, with very limited information. I don't know how Mikuru would look like in the future because Mikuru is rarely the source of the big events in the work or the scene of scheming to achieve his purpose, but I think it would be more appropriate to see him as just an innocent girl.

SPOILER: According to the novels, She was sent to they past intentionally ignorant and innocent, her knowledge of her missions is unknown and her memories are "locked" in some way to avoid spreading confidential information about her.
