He might decide that the top marginal rates are low enough already, because today's rate is roughly half what it was when he first entered office.  He might decide that Obamacare is here to stay and fighting it is a lost cause.  He also might decide that Russia is no longer a communist state and we don't have to worry about them anymore.  Anyhow, given that Cheney is with Kamala now and Bush 41 was for Hillary, I think Reagan would be with Kamala too.

I think there's a very good chance of that.  Beyond policy differences, I think Ronald Reagan would have detested Donald Trump personally.  Reagan got along with everyone, and was a good-natured person.  I won't go over Trump's personality problems and peculiarities again, but personality-wise, he's about as far from Ronald Reagan as he could be.
