Does the に work in the same way as in
[残念に思う](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/57217/confusion-
with-%E3%81%AB-%E3%82%92-%E3%81%A8-particles-used-with-verbs-
like-%E6%84%9F%E3%81%98%E3%82%8B)? Namely, the に marks the content of one’s
thoughts?

Understanding the に in ってくらいに考えておいて
In a broad sense, yes, it belongs to what's described in your link. But in
this specific case, ～くらいに + [mental/sensory verb] is more like a set phrase
that can be replaced by ～ような（もの／こと）だと. It implies that the previously said
content is an approximation or likening, rather than a faithfully manifested
impression.
