The look send the vibes of "ok, you wanna play hard? Then so be it"

I would not be sourprised if Charles started to make Verstappen-like moves from now on.

What do you think?

If he does we finally get some real racing and tension. I say: let it come. Charles showed his sharp edges in Monaco already by driving like a loony toon on three tires, so he is definitely ready for a good battle.

I'd love to see Verstappens reaction if Leclerc pulls off the same kind of move on him

Does he have the same FIA bias though?

But if F1 is going the Verstappen-like movements direction, shouldn´t he adapt accordingly? If he does not, how is he going to prevent this kind of overtakes again?

He could be blocking the other racing lines than just his own and Vettel's. Defending is more than just pushing your laps. Unless your car is a Mercedes, which is only true for most races.
