Trump and Sessions are certainly on the same page. It's some real mental gymnastics to think that a President's AG is ever not on the President's page.

Regarding Mueller, we just don't know. My personal opinion is that Trump was looking for the person best for the job of special counsel of all things Russia and government corruption related such that they will follow the evidence and do so with credibility and expertise. Mueller is a possible candidate for that. Mueller being hired the day after Trump interviewed him is the kind of thing that signals this or something like this.

Also, some of the "own game" stuff played by members of the administration is fake news. Not all but some.
