Not sure without specific context. You can be "mean" and offer the minimum hospitality and courtesy (KoDP) and this tends to bring mundane wrath down on you (feuds etc.) - possibly still an example of pre-empting (see below).

I think Orlanthi will pre-empt the divine element of wrath if possible (as that tends to be less dangerous). Not offering food to a hungry guest could mean your crops fail next season and so forth. Pre-empting the divine element could avert this. (Also Orlanth favours those who stick up for themselves - if able).

Yes. To an extent. You can certainly be so stingy that you provoke your guest into anger and so forth.

I think there is room for scope in this for a good story.
