with all due respect, you've known him and his family for 2 yrs now. if a person were to present themselves as false, the lie would have come out by now.

islam is not your issue at all. he has his own special way of practicing his religion im sure and it has never caused a problem in the past correct?

returning to algeria is the issue.
depending on where you move to, you might have to conform to what the people do in the area. does his family live in algeria? dont try to be the one who runs against the grain in algeria. its all about conforming. ask your husband about algeria. regardless of how anyone else lives, he knows how he wants his family to live, he is the best source for most of your questions.

as for legal advice. if you convert, muslim laws will apply to you. but none of it really matters if your husband doesnt contest anything with you. a good sit down conversation about what is expected of you and him both, restrictions, and children will raise enough questions. discuss all the "what if's". if there are key points that you want guaranteed, make sure its in a prenuptual.

some good advice: follow your heart.
its nice that you can work there, but is there a job for you?
its grand that he accepts you as an agnostic, but will anyone outside of the family? perhaps it is best not to make that public knowledge.
you can have the kids in case of divorce depending on age? ask him to clarify this. why based on age? discuss what that means to him.
ANYONE should be cautious when planning their future regardless of who they are marrying.
islam is as strict as you make it. this is why i say its up to your husband. not so much you, not if youre living in algeria.
you should be looking into WHY your husband wants to return there? this can generate more relevant questions.

congratulations, good luck, and god bless.
