Jesse was close to killing Walt because he was convinced that he had taken the ricin from him and poisoned Brock. He had to have come up with some way for Walt to grab the ricin from him that day, yet they never met each other. So he (correctly) figured it was Huell while being patted down while at Saul's. This is all discussed in the confrontation halfway through the season 4 episode 12.
Jesse had his hand on the trigger and was going to shoot someone close to him. That moment and his thoughts at the time have probably stuck with him. So as he's become depressed and is thinking through his past he had to have remembered the time he nearly killed Mr. White because he thought Huell had pickpocketted him. Now all of a sudden he realizes Huell is an accomplished pickpocketer and the dots start to connect, like Mr. White finding the ricin in the roomba.
