While I tend to agree with this, I don't like the term "enticement" as you seem to use loosely, there. That is, according to James, "each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed.", so that, I think, you could use a better word for your point.
I agree with you in that the devil is very heavily involved in tempting and otherwise doing whatever he can to disrupt and ruin, drag down, stall and whatever else he considers to oppose the work of God. (And I think it is more insidious than that! He seeks to devour us! And I wouldn't get in a hurry to try to explain just what that means, either!) I don't think we know the depth nor limits of ability he has, nor the function to what God has put him, and it may be dangerous to assume too much there. We cannot blame the devil for our sin, however —it is our sin. And we do know that he can do nothing that God restrains him from doing! But, happily, there is more to it than that —we can know that the Devil can only do what God, one way or another, has set up for him to be "enticed" to do!
There are many references, as you know, concerning what Satan does and how he tempts ("entices", even!). But to say that he cannot know our thoughts is something I have not read in scripture, though I think it is obvious he doesn't know everything we think. It seems he can speak his lies to us personally, and can use human beings to do so.
