I see what you mean. Hollows are able to use magic and stuff, just like when they were human. But he seems to be somewhat sane still. For example, when you ring the bell, it summons him. He knew you rung the bell. I don't think a hollow would remember to do that, as he would do the same if he was alive. As shown in Dark Souls 2, hollowing usually causes memory loss. (As show with that one woman you can summon once or twice. The one with the half-hollowed face.)  As for the hollows not attacking each other, and keeping each other alive, I believe this was due to gameplay mechanics and challenge. Enemies rarely are able to hit each other, with very few exceptions. In Dark Souls 3, we see a few enemies attack other enemies. Much more than in Dark Souls 3, for logical reasons. (The abyss watchers, Black knights against Ghrus and Knight-slayer Tsorig, etc...) I think they simply left out the friendly fire in Dark Souls 1, because it wouldn't be fun to just sit back and watch the enemies kill each other.
