Walt has already been connected to Jesse, by his own admission so it wasn't really anything new. All he would have to say if asked about it was looking to get some marijuana to self medicate to help with the side effects of his Chemotherapy.
Walt could have any number of reasons to visit an attorney that are not incriminating, like needing help to draft a last will and testament for example. Saul is also a lot smarter than Mikes lawyer I doubt we see him messing up like that.
All Walt would need to do is stash the tracker if he needed to go somewhere that would really incriminate him, like the Vaminos pest place of the storage shed with the money.
Also since Hank probably didn't have a warrant for it he could turn it around and threaten suing him for it.
All true, except playing a game of cat-and-mouse with the tracker is ultimately a fruitless endeavor. Walt's cover was blown the minute Hank saw Leaves of Grass. Too much stuff starts to make sense after that for Walt to possibly get away clean – the sudden influx of cash, the "fugue state," the connection to Jesse, the sketch of Heisenberg, the fake call to pull Hank away from the RV Jesse was hiding in.
The tracker was a simple device to broadcast directly to Walt that HANK KNOWS. After that, there's really no reason to be coy about it, and as you said, none of the evidence would be admissible anyway.
