If some random person walked up to me with what I considered to be a fantastic fiction and then tried to force me to swear on a bible I'd want to get the hell away from them too.
I mean, if you already believe it to be true, you will probably see the questioner's actions as a "truthseeker;" however, I do not believe it to be true and I see a "psychopath." Its a matter of perception. This is not good evidence of anything.
His response seemed to me to be one of incredulity. I'm not sure what you are calling "fake." I think this is a problem of confirmation bias.
If I'm understanding you correctly, you believe the moon landing was faked. This may be causing you to see his response as a "fake response" justifying your belief. I believe the moon landing was real. I see his response as incredulity at the fucking moron saying these ridiculous things.
Who is correct? I don't know, but it does seem we can both look at the same video and see two very different things based on our own differing beliefs we bring into the situation.
I do see the gears turning, but from my perspective I see someone trying to figure out how dangerous the lunatic is. Does he need to fight or flight? That's what I see him thinking. That's what I would be thinking.
The questioner (assuming everything he is saying is false (as is my perspective)) appears to be completely out of his gourd nuts. Since I think he is incorrect in everything he says, I see him as threat, but I need to figure out how much of a threat he is before I act. My turning gears would be thinking, "where's the exit?" and "do I need to take this guy out first before I run in order to save myself?"
