To my recollection there was no evidence of retaining the Geass upon activating the immortality. I suppose it could treated as a form of a trade? If this is indeed the case, and "dying" is a sort of requirement before the immortality code kicks in (Like I keep seeing stated); then it would explain why Lelouch retained his Geass after his confrontation with his father. Though it is also possible they retain it but choose not to activate it; I personally would like to believe the Geass is removed in place of the immortality code, but that's just my view.

As for Mao and Lelouch galling for CC, that's not necessarily her geass. It could just be their human emotions and her looks/charms tht draw them in. It was state that she found MAo when he was a young child, and was the only person he really had or could be around. That she like a mother, friend and a lover to him; so it makes complete sense that he just fell in love normally like humans do, but eventually became obsessed when she abandoned him. As for Lelouch, he practically lost almost everyone he romantically loved and cared for. So I can see him latching to her in some degree, and after all they went through together, it is logical that some feelings developed.
