I wrote this. It's part of a dialog.
A few weeks after she had started her new job there was a party at the company. At some point she's at the bar when this man comes up to her. He just wanted to make sure if she had settled in well. It turned out he was the founder and director of the company. They ended up talking for a while...
1) Is 'make sure' appropriate here if the man has no idea about how she has settled before coming up to her, he just knows that she's just started? Also, is 'if' OK?
2) It's not correct/natural to say 'He just wanted to hear if she had settled in well', is it?
