Can a familiar technically even betray you? As far as I understand (not very far), isn't it a normal creature from another plane(?), that is bound to your will and sucked into a new magical body? Betrayal would imply a certain level of intelligence, that the normal creature wouldn't have. But since a familiar can understand, what you want it to do and master complex tasks, it's intelligence must be higher than normal. Am I overthinking this? Probably, but it would be shocking twist!

The familiar itself is not a creature at all. The Familiar is a spirit that takes on the form of a creature that (due to it not being a natural creature) has the properties of a creature from a different plane.
As for whether or not a Familiar can betray the person who summoned it. That's up to GM Fiat, but generally no, Familiars are very much obedient to what their masters want.
