P.s. I'm rather certain the q inside the sphere will experience a (net)
force if it's not in the center
I believe so. Unlike a hollow shell of mass, the induced opposite charges
on the inner surface of the conductive cage will move adjacent to the
approaching charged object (it will see an "image charge" below the
surface, and experience a dipole attraction force when it's very near the
surface.)
