(Then again, we still don't know if he's Mar-Vell, but I mean... C'mon.) We know he's Carol's mentor. And there's a big age difference there. He's not going to be her love interest. If anything, he'll be like a father figure to her. Because every Marvel movie has "fatherhood" as a theme.

As for why she would call herself "Captain Marvel" if Mar-Vell is a villain... well, that's a problem that would still exist even if he's not, as I expect, the movie's secret antagonist. Why would she call herself her mentor's name if that's not an alias? It's got to be that someone just thinks it is and then calls her that and she embraces it.
