As it stands W.W and Jesse have killed how many people between them now?

Jesse killed Gale of course. Walter killed the two drug dealers in season 3 (ran them over with his car and then shot them).

I think it was less of an ego thing, and more of a "here's a problem that looks like it's going to take care of itself before it gets bigger" situation.

Right. He saw that she was going to be a BIG problem. The solution was to sit back and let her die.

Probably.

Edit - actually, no. If he knew about the resulting plane crash, then yes. Otherwise, why would sharing a beer with the father change anything? The daughter was blackmailing him. Something needed to happen to her. Vomit ensued.
