The government's own info on using Lifetime ISA funds to purchase your first home here, state that
The home you buy must:

- have a price of £450,000 or less
- be the only home you will own

The reality is that, even if tax law allows them to hire you, the company can just decide not to hire you for the internship unless you do what they say.

No. A product described as an Instant Cash ISA would have no provision for holding stocks/shares.
But you are able to transfer the cash within an Instant Cash ISA to an account that does permit holding stocks/shares. If you do so, make sure you get the new account provider to do an ISA Transfer. Do not withdraw the cash from the ISA yourself, otherwise that ...
