It's fine to have good and evil NPCs in the same party, as long as you manage them properly. Some NPCs, however, like Edwin and Minsc, or Keldorn and Viconia, will start fights simply because they don't like each other (nothing to do with alignment, it's all scripted), so you'll have to watch out for that. I've never had an NPC leave my party because of something I said. Maybe your character has bad breath. In any case, you can't talk to your party members, you have to wait for them to talk to you. I'll usually give the non-committal response, unless I'm talking to someone like Aerie, Anomen or Nalia, in which case I'll tell them where they can shove their wings, knighthood and nobility, respectively. Ahem. Honestly, you don't sound much like a paladin to me (that's a good thing). Try playing through as a regular fighter next time, they're so much more flexible.
