So! Shaun is being as vague and guarded as physically possible because... well it's sort of a mutual feeling in regards to the useful/dangerous combo. Shaun's pretty much discounted the idea that Cesare's from his world, but he has no idea if his world has Templars, or what Cesare might do IF Templars arrive. He knows that different versions of the same person have been here, and he's afraid that Cesare would listen to the Templar Cesare more then him. Then if he's spilled any major details to Cesare, the entire Assassin order is boned. If it came down to where he was semi-comfortable with Cesare he'd be willing to talk about the animus and genetic memory... but that's "willing", not "would go ahead and do it". It's a big secret for a reason, and not just Lucy, but the brotherhood wouldn't think kindly about him revealing it unless there was a damn good reason.
So Cesare is useful in the case that he can possibly keep him neutral if the Templar/Assassin war spills over into camp. And if he can get him genuinely on his side, then it's worth all the trouble.
On the other hand, Cesare is downright dangerous, and not just for the reasons above. Cesare's known for being a Magnificent Bastard, and not only does Shaun know this, he knows that Cesare knows this (who knows that Shaun knows that Cesare knows- oh you get the idea). So he's being cautious and edging around him because he's playing with some fire here. He's... honestly not sure if he's already been pulled into a trap, but the thought is there and it sets him on edge. ...On the other hand it's Cesare and thus History and... well. Shaun's done dumb things before.
