Theon made choices that were influenced by others. Killing rodrick cassel and the orphan boys were actions influenced by dagmar and you could see how troubled theon was when he committed those actions. As for the high sparrow, tommen was very weak willed and the high sparrow was making him a more effective leader as shown in season 6. Mance was protecting his people. He stated that he didn't want to kill the nights watch but to get his people to safety, he is willing to kill them all. That more shows his devotion to the free folk and his former ties to the nights watch.
