I do have separate emails for the two linkedin accounts. I believe you are correct about needing the person you're helping needing a second email address. I have a gmail account for my pen name which I used as the primary for that account, and list as a contact when the publisher wants an email to put out in the bio for readers who might want to contact me.
I haven't made a great secret about my writing, but NH is a lot more open than TX (although my primary publisher at the moment, Torquere, is actually based in Texas). My decision to use a pseudonym was driven primarily by the fact that there's already a Kathryn Smith who's a successful paranomal romance author, and I didn't want to either confuse readers, or look like I was riding her coat tales. It would also have made me much harder to find with a google search. Kathryn Scannell is rare enough that I get 8 of the first 10 hits on Google.
As for the Harry Potter books, from their perspective I don't actually think the fundies are wrong. In some of the esoteric circles I also move in, I hear a lot of teachers grumbling about how many Harry Potter style ideas they have to uproot in new students before they can go anywhere, so it *is* encouraging interest.
