I think it was more that Adam was asking his boss if he could ride as his Team leader Pogacar was just behind and in a good position. Simon is his teams leader so he doesn't need to ask for permission to work.

Rival teams are definitely allowed to work together - cycling wouldn't work without this.

Seriously, it's not good for the race when two of the better GC riders leave on day 1
