All valid points. I had the same thoughts. I would say that you missed spelling 1 important point - and that is the advantage of this treaty to the US. And I would say that it's all positive for US - 1. strategic partnership - maybe good for both. 2. Less fight for hydrocarbons (as India will get some energy from nuclear) - better deal for americans. For India it's not all bad - setup reactors in remote places/islands. Demand latest technology - maybe france's - they are all 1 western group i would say.
