In other words, independent or autonomous spirits took the form of those Lion-O was comfortable with.

Or was everything he experienced simply in his mind? If everything, including the spirits were simply manifestations of his own mind, then the trials were something he imagined himself. I’m asking because I don’t know what happened in the original series so I can’t compare.

I think the cats he's seeing in the trials are manifestations of the Spirit Stone itself. Like you said Jaga spoke as if it was sentient (and he spoke of the Eye of Thundera the same way in the premiere). But I think it took images and memories out of Lion-O's mind to create scenarios he can relate to.
