We've previously had diplomacy used on Elton the Grotle which made him hand over a list. But we never actually interviewed him. Is he compliant from now on? So we can interview him and expect him to tell us whatever we want kinda thing? Or is that not how diplomacy works? xD

He's compliant for the rest of the game (or for as long as he's alive!). When you use Diplomacy on a civilian, they fork up any items they're carrying and all future interviews with them will be positive and they'll tell you all that they know, so it won't matter who interviews him after Diplomacy is used. While they won't be able to tell you everything, you'll at least get that particular civilian to be as cooperative as possible for interviews and handing over items that might be useful.
