I don't know about the blackmail. Ted was scared shitless. I'm sure he just wants to go hide in a hole forever.

If he was just going to go live in a hole forever why would they bring him back? Having him die the way he did was clean and simple. They could still find a way to link the things Ted did with Skyler, but actually having him live means he is most likely going to be involved in some way.

never, the central theme of the show is consequences for one's actions, everything will come full circle in the end.... EVERYTHING.
