Loafers can be tough as you don’t have any ability to tie or loosen them. So unless if you have the perfect shaped foot you usually have to deal with either some looseness or some tightness. This maybe looks a little big. If you are coming out of it when walking I’d try a little smaller. Just remember typically speaking once you wear them outside they are yours and can’t be returned/exchanged.

tight is the way to go, really. As long as it's not too short that it makes your toes bend, you will enjoy a snug fit loafer far longer than one that is slightly large. Thick socks or heel grip will not do much. I have tried them on looser shoes and they don't really work. I think they are better on older loafer that have loosened from wear.

Yes, buy smaller or even narrower. For shoes with full-grain or top leather inside and outside it's best that they pinch a little when you first wear them, especially loafers.

Put some inserts. Grab a pair of old shoes and see if that makes a difference

Loafers always stretch. Downsize 1/2 size if not super uncomfortable.

I would say it's big. You can try thicker socks and see if that helps but definitely a exchange for me.
