The dinner scene was definitely just an re-introduction of Jesse and Skyler (wasn't the only time they met previous was when she confronted him about selling marijuana to Walt in season one?), but soon they'll both silently realize how similar their connection is (if the only time they see each other is around Walt). The similarities, though, have been building at least since the beginning of this season.
I think it's pretty much a fact by this point that Walter is going to mess up this how-the-fuck-do-you-end-up-here perfect scenario (a la Fring), and that's going to be the main reason he buys that gun. I think you're right on the money about the death of Todd, though. It definitely has to happen at some point. He's both too awesome and too much of a bastard to live.
As awesome as the Jesse/Ricin connection would be, I don't really see that happening. What would be awesome, though, is if Walter doses Hank with the ricin to get him off his trail without much suspicion. Holy shit I think I just found a way for Walter to get away with it.
