But you can look where you're going in both cases: with your head level with
the horizon, and with your head level with the aircraft.
I can't imagine a pilot would crane his head left or right in order to
stay oriented with the horizon. The natural thing to do is have your
spine straight up and down, perpendicular to your seat.
(Does anybody do it another way--in a real airplane, I mean?)

You are correct.
Correcting any tendency to lean away from the turn is one of the first
things any good instructor should address during the first hour of dual
with any primary student.
