“Indeed, it appears that satan can do no other than what the Reformed God has predestined for him.”

I agree with your point to the extent that the Bible doesn’t
teach Satan’s acts are predestined. The outcome of any act
he takes, however, falls within God’s sovereignty.

If Satan can act outside the sovereign will of God, then God
isn’t sovereign.

That is quite different than “predestining” all acts.

Correct, to a point. One must define what sovereignty means first. If by sovereign, one means that God is the Creator and has set up the Universe for us, that is one thing. If by sovereign, one means that God is the ultimate computer programmer who has created a universe of robot slaves, that is another.
