When Aragorn looked in the stone of Orthanc what did he reveal to Sauron?

Sauron saw Pippin in the Orthanc Stone, assumed he was the hob- bit Ring-bearer, and concluded that Saruman had the Ring.

Is Aragorn a different kind of King than Sauron?

The insinuation here is that Aragorn is a different kind of king than Sauron and does not wish to have an army of slaves.

He had too great a leverage over their souls and they were desperate for freedom.

What did Aragorn do with the army of the dead?

Aragorn had given his word to the army of the dead to release them after the battle.

The whole point of giving up the ring to be destroyed is that he does not believe that tyranny is a pathway to freedom.
