Yes, the bible says that God created Satan, an entity which had free will and was “good”.
Like the human, the entity could also do sinful things thanks to the fact that he had free will.
Infact, Satan turned “bad” but Lucifer’s sinful pride cost him his place in paradise.
But if he’s so powerful that he can stick him in the centre of the earth, why couldn’t he put him in a place where he actually wasn’t able to tempt humanity?

As already said, he isn’t omnipotent, so no, he cannot directly control him.
