The NAP states that the gauls recognize the owner of the Mollys over Dublin , Derry and ervy Molly bases. That's all.
And that's kinda enough for Gallia not to turn on Mollys unless they want to break the NAP. That they recognize Mollys as owners of what you listed above in that treaty supports their story of only having revenge on Bretonia and Liberty.
Besides simply being careful - which I assume they are towards everybody - why would Mollys expect Gallia to break their word and turn on them once dealt with Bretonia? Resources aren't the reason either as access to gold is covered in the NAP, as you said. What else then?
Additionally, while a NAP is formally not an alliance, there is little difference when you see GRN and Mollys take on Bretonian warships alongside eachother.
Personaly, i'm not even aware is there are Mollys who know why the two Kingdoms are at war.
All they do supose is quite simple, why would a militaristic superpower leave a group which is highly unpredictable, behind their back while this superpower could try to wipe them out ( and probably succeed ) and take all the system for itself and the only source of gold of the entire sirius.
This is simple politic stance : you cannot trust some group that is more powerfull than you ( Machiavelli ), because you will always be at its mercy.

If you aid us, and you aid them, you are the enemy.
If you do not aid them, you are worthless outside of extortion potential.
If you aid us, you will be treated with respect.
