I don't see the theological opposition as ruling out a temporary alliance as similar alliances have happened in RW history. There's the allies in the second world war, for example.
I don't subscribe to the "broos were herded" theory myself as the Broos are far too cunning to be rounded up and herded like sheep over an extended period of time. IMO something unusual did happen but the details are unclear - the survivors have no knowledge of how the Broos came to be on their side while those that might know are dead.

Yes. Glorantha: Intro p169. The Broos are not mentioned there because the Praxians prefer not to mention it while the Lunars don't recognize them as being all that interesting.
