I'm getting very mixed signals from him. I think something is wrong.
It would be a lot easier if he could talk…
There are many books on how cats and dogs communicate, but not so many about hamsters. I'm having difficulties understanding what's exactly wrong.

That is a link to the kind of mesh I meant. People carefully attach it around the cage and this prevents the hamster from being able to squeeze through the bars.
If you post a picture of your cage then maybe that would help as people could offer you advice. I understand what you are saying. It is hard to know what a hamster is thinking especially if it is new to us.
I know some hamsters are not keen on being held and people interact with them offering a treat instead of by touching them.
