one was “do you think I’m attractive?” and another was “do you think I’m sexually attractive?” And he answered yes (but said more than just that) to both.

I feel like saying "I think you are attractive" is different than saying "I am attracted to you." The first is not quite so bad to me, sort of like saying "you are pretty/beautiful/etc." I don't think a therapist should say that to a client either, most of the time, but it's not as direct or personal as "I am attracted to you." But maybe the other things he said would make that difference not matter.

I just wonder where the boundary is in his mind if he’s ok with this, I mean it has to be somewhere before actually doing something physical, right?

That's a really good question to ask him. It seems to me that having an attraction and admitting it, does not mean a person has to act on that attraction in any way. But it helps to know what the boundaries are.
