Take him to the vet to check for anything out of line, as, if they are seizures (which can be hard to recognize), that can be extremely serious. Most likely, though, he's just an anxious cat with a bit of feral/bad previous owner ptsd. Work with him slowly to get him more used to being in a new environment. If he's already cuddling at night, you're definitely on the right track. Don't worry about him not licking; that's somewhat uncommon in cats as a regular sign of affection.
First things first, though: Get a vet to check him out.
Is it normal for my cat to do this?
