I've just started my first game with Conclave, and I'm a bit confused. I declared war on another realm, but I found that the Council was discontent with me. What is the mechanic by which they express their views to me before I decide things?

Theres a box with either a tick or a cross next to where you click the declare war button once the CBs have been selected. clicking that will tell you what councilors voted against you.
So, does that mean I can find out if they support or oppose my decision only after it is made?
No. If you want to make a decision for which the council has an input in, next to the "send" button there is a little circle. Click on it and it will open a council tab which shows you who approves and who disagrees. In fact, I don't think you can find out this after the fact.
I executed a prisoner because the description said "No one will care," only to get tagged as a tyrant. I guessed it must be because the council didn't approve, but it took me a long time to figure out where to see the council's opinion. This is far too easy to miss or forget in the heat of the game. It should be added in red text, and the "No one will care" description should be removed when people will care!
That's a bug. It sometimes happens when you execute members of enemy nations, too (you're only supposed to be viewed as a tyrant by the source nation's lords, in which case you probably don't give a crap).
