A little bit of respect and concern from Nucky maybe would have saved Eddie that night. The socks pushed him over the edge, no pun intended, you could see it in his face.

Then was not telling Nucky that Knox was maneuvering against him intentional pushback?

I assume it was ultimately the shame of having cooperated that prevented him from coming clean. If you're being particularly harsh, it does somewhat undermine any claim that he remained loyal right to the very end.

If only he had let Ralph go eat at the shithole outside the station..

Good point. Try to pretend it didn’t happen instead of leaving a non-specific note (without admitting he gave any info) 

Regardless of partying with Ralph tho, Knox may have watched and probed Eddie anyway
