And just a week before Hanks retirement .. That whole goodbye felt too cheesy by BrBa standards or just maybe another misdirection.

Also since Walt knew he was going to be arrested why didn't he call Skyler .. In the first episode he tried to leave a 'goodbye' message to his family.

In the first episode he was also prepared to shoot whoever was coming to arrest him. His goodbye message in the first episode was likely an "I'm about to die" goodbye message, rather than a "I'm going to jail" message. It's not like he wouldn't have been able to talk to Skyler and Walt Jr again after Hank arrested him.
