Now if they supported ActivityPub today and I followed my Masto account from Threads, they might eventually be able to imply that these two accounts belong to the same person. Maybe I use the same URL on my profile, etc.
And of course, they can see everyone I follow. Anyone can -- it's part of the ActivityPub spec. Here ya go, if you run this command:
curl -H 'Accept: application/activity+json' https://writing.exchange/users/matt/following?page=1
