I don't think the interim agreement does allow freedom of movement?
Also it treats NI differently only if we have no deal at the end of the interim period. It's 'the backstop' to ensure no border is required if we haven't come to some other arrangement.

This is always going to be the case with any other arrangement including a prospective trade deal with the US. Part of these agreements including converging regulation to make trade easier. Parliament's say in that is when they vote for the overall package.
