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.

Exactly.
Also we have to remember that the entire series has taken place in roughly a years time (minus flash forward). These accusations Jesse had about Walt in regards to Brock are still very fresh in his mind. It wouldn't take much for it to trigger again. It's been a month or two tops, not several years since Jesse had a gun pointed at Mr. White's head.
