In a way, it's betrayal, in another it's not.
If they had killed Hawkwood, they could've either followed his troops back to the 2nd brigade or captured and interrogated them for the general direction they're in. The only way for that to be avoided would be if they all kept mum about it or instantly scattered and deserted, never returning .
So it's not a question of 'If' they could've found the English without them, it's a question of 'when' they would've found them, and how much of a delay killing Hawkwood's men would've cost them in finding the main unit and whether that delay would've helped the English or French more.
On the other hand, both sides want a major battle to take place, though in different situations and at different times. So if him telling them would benefit their plans to beat them in one battle, it's very good as well.

Major gambit. If his read on the frenchman was a bit off. It would be over for him
He has no reason to show loyalty to the English army. His contract is only to fight for them and follow the orders given by the prince. The prince gave the order to recover the bodies, not fight a group of knights, so technically he did his job. No more, no Less.
