No, these are pragmatic villainy actions, when the villain is just not interested in committing evil deeds or is just pretending to be civilized to at least keep their own facade. Villains can't be evil all the time.

Johan Liebert for example gave money to a drugged women in the street just so she could buy more drugs to destroy herself even more. In other words, the villain sometimes may be trying to be helpful when he is trying to cause even more mayhem. Isaac Ray Peram Westcott increased the salary of his minions for doing a good job but it was only to don't feared by his subordinates all the time so they could follow orders more effectively.

Paying a prostitute is nothing more than a trace of a Faux Affably Evil when he is charming and kind on the surface but he is a monster inside so no, like the critic you mentioned above, I don't think he would show the same "Kindness" if she did a bad service. Showing a tear of a singing is also not a disqualifying factor as even villains can enjoy some things (as long they are not living beings, showing love and attachment to objects, music, arts, etc are not disqualifying factors). Offering a beter seat to a critic is also far away from being a redeeming quality, you said yourself he killed the critic when he refused to accept his offer, so there is no genuine care for another person there.
