LOKI ASIDE Tony is actually really chill with Barton. He knows Barton knows shit, because you know Barton was on a rooftop and somehow he could tell him exactly what was happening all over. So he assumes Clint knows what's going on with him so he doesn't bother pretending that much around him. As far as Tony is concerned Barton's an Avenger and he trusts him implicitly. There is 0 conflict for him there. Clint is also one of Tony's people so he's protective and wants to help, except unlike Coulson, he sees Barton as a teammate and has less trouble with the idea of having him around.
He knows Barton is having an identity crisis and that he has a complex and apparently doesn't consider himself a hero but he has faith he'll get over it. You don't get to have a complex after saving the world from an alien invasion. AND ALSO HE'S REALLY HAPPY NATASHA IS HERE NOW BECAUSE NATASHA SPEAKS BARTON. EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY NOW.
ON THE LOKI THING he's a lot more understanding of Clint's situation than he is of Coulson's. Clint got mind-controlled and Tony touched the memory flower and if he were getting any sleep he'd probably had nightmares about it. And also he was dealing with Loki on his own for a year, and god that have to have sucked (Tony feels vaguely guilty about that because he was in camp before and let that happen and that's terrible.) So he understands that being polite to Loki was Clint's only choice. He doesn't understand why he's STILL being polite to Loki but he's less of a hissycat about it than he is about Coulson.
IN SUMMARY, Tony is comfortable around Clint, has Loki issues but that's understandable. And he'll just flop on Clint's bed and eat his food and make him weapons.
