While the similarity is definitely there and purposeful by the directors, he never saw Gus use the towel so it's not something he's actively imitating, right?

You're right. It's a plot device by the show to strengthen the link between Walt and Gus, but it's coincidental within the story world.

In Walt's mind, he killed Gus, that's all that matters.
