I'm not sure of Gus' plan either for Jesse. I thought initially it was to pull him back from the edge, but why would he care? Is he trying to turn him against Walt? That's really the only thing I can figure that could come from this new job responsibility for Jesse.
I'm not sure I buy into Walt wanting to lead Hank to Gus during the dinner conversation. I think he was drunk and he's arrogant and he didn't like someone else getting credit. I suppose he could now spin it that way though, now that Hank is back into the case and about to knock on Gus' door, but I don't think that was initial intention.
I don't know what Toonces the Driving cat is so I don't know if you are agreeing or disagreeing with what I wrote.
True, but it's possible the great Heisenberg had given the recipe to others before his demise. Same product doesn't mean that Heisenberg isn't dead, just that the recipe isn't. But yes, I suppose it would keep the investigation into that particular drug ring open.

I can suppose that Gus's intention is to split the team of Walt and Jesse up, sort of like you were alluding to, I think. Walt discovers he can get along okay with any other assistant, and Jesse now believing he has more abilities than Walt allows him to utilize.
Hank must be suspecting something though, he still has that look of skepticism whenever he talks to Walt. The unintended consequence of Walts arrogant spiel might lead to the end of Gus, but it would be interesting to see how Hank will deal with it if he learns what Walt is doing. Would he protect him or use him or just turn him in eventually. Hank vs Walt might be next season, I think this season might just be the demise of Gus and rise of Walt.
Re: Toonces... I think I was suggesting that the high speed driving montage was comical looking. I don't know if it was intentionally campy looking or what. Just didn't look like their normal high quality cinematography style.
