I assume that writing about Windows internals requires knowledge of said internals? Or do you think he never had access to the source code and has never seen anything, not even ideas of algorithms?

AFAIK, he never had privileged access while he was still commiting to ReactOS.
You can get knowledge of the internals and ideas of the algorithms from reverse engineering the released Windows binaries
Do you believe that is what Microsoft employees do while writing Windows Internals? I have serious trouble believing it. I'm not saying that it's not possible, just that it might not be the case there and these facts seem to confirm it.
Alex Ionescu wasn't a Microsoft employee, though.
