either could be malicious.]

yes, it seems infeasible to anyone (including a mitm) to manipulate the
exporter output (and therefore the nonce) in any meaningful way.

yes, as long as the nonce is non-predictable -- and the construction
that you described has that property -- it is immaterial that the RP
"knows" the nonce (the nonce is a public parameter in the protocol).

yes, if we rule out colluding RP & Attester, the freshness guarantee is
preserved even if the Verifier did not contribute to the computation of
the nonce.
