What Felix might see this character as: My first thought was 'Welsh Dragon' but I think that might be a bit much. ;) I guess it depends. Howl acts like an arrogant jerk, but isn't really. Then again, there's enough else going on with him that maybe he'd just be emotions and magic and not clear enough for an animal at all. Up to how you think Felix would interpret all that, I guess.
Reading auras? Yes.
Other magical affects: Howl has a few things going on. Firstly, he's been cursed by the Witch of the Waste. It's really more of a way for her to track him down than a traditional kind of curse, though, so it might just be something vague swirling about him, if anything. The bigger thing is the spell that binds him to Calcifer and keeps him alive, given his heart is literally in another dimension at this point. Not sure how that might show up other than a creepy black hole in his chest, or something of the type? I'm happy to discuss. The book is unfortunately kind of vague on all of this, especially the Witch's curse.

Since they'll run into each other at some point:
