Actually, There is another thread that the guy got it running. I put the link in the Starlink thread.

I'm not sure of the questions at this point, but that's OK. I'll keep asking questions and maybe I'll learn something new.
I don't see a loop. The Starlink/WiFi part here doesn't seem relevant to me.
Let's assume the Pi has an address on a network, like 192.168.2.1.
The Pi could certainly use pihole's DNS itself, as noted in the Post Install section, "If your OS uses dhcpcd for network configuration, you can add to your /etc/dhcpcd.conf
static domain_name_servers=127.0.0.1"
Also, assume the DHCP in the network provides the Pi's address as the DNS server and DHCP server. A computer connects and is assigned 192.168.2.53. To use DNS, packets sent with source of 192.168.2.53 would send a DNS packet on port 53 to the destination in the 192.168.2.1 in the network, and 192.168.2.1 would reply to 192.168.2.53. So, no loop.
Packets with destinations other than 192.168.2.1 could be forwarded even if an intermediate hop is 192.168.2.1, right? Or, I think.
