From what i can tell "føles ut som" refers to a tactile (or: sensual) feeling (like: the carpet feels like it's made of needles), where "føles seg som" refers to a somatical/psychological feeling (i'm feeling sick, i feel like a foreigner) - you can also tell this by the reflexive ("i feel (myself; meg) like ...")

Is the s in seg pronounced like s or sh. Fast audio on this makes it sound like the latter.

"rs" is pronounced like sh. Even if the r ends one word and the s starts another.
