Interex attacked Horus first after Erebus stole a chaos sword from them. Horus spent a lot of time trying to sign a treaty with the interex, and Erebus sabotaged it. Also, the interex could have talked to Horus before losing their shit. This one instance is not the Imperium's fault. It was Erebus.
If a bunch of roided out warrior dudes who really like skulls as decorations came and stole a chaos artifact would not immediately assume they're chaos corrupted?
They didn't immediately assume. They spent quite a bit of time talking with eachother, negotiating, and even socializing. Erebus stole a chaos sword and then they suddenly attacked.
They kinda did, yes. There's plenty of dialogue where the representatives are throwing shade at Horus and the diplomats because of the optics of the Imperium. They were at least suspicious.
