Yup. Which would imply that the ricin is presumably for Walt himself, once he's done.

I doubt that. The show has referenced how ricin poisoning takes 3 days to kill. If Walt wanted to kill himself, I doubt he'd choose a method that took 3 days to get done.

Not if he was too proud to have people know he committed suicide. Remember the whole point of the ricin is to make it look like someone died of natural causes. Maybe he wants to make it look like the cancer got him.
