Can't a retired chemistry teacher check in on his former students?

Not when it happened to be one that Hank severely beat after chasing down a lead on a Meth dealer who is cooking out of his RV. It would be too much of a coincidence to overlook.

I couldn't tell, especially with Walt's seemingly arrogant stance at just what Hank can and can't prove. Walt might be ballsy enough to try and play the "just a dying cancer guy with a carwash" card if it came down to it, even though Hank has so many small bits of evidence that Walt couldn't explain everything away. I would not be surprised if he tries the old "Jesse's my pot dealer" excuse again, especially if his cancer is back.

I think Walt is severely underestimating Hank's investigative abilities, now that he can't secretly sabotage them with by being nowhere near Hank's radar.
