Wait wait, who called in the hit on Irene? Because Mycroft is so cold when he tells John "I was thorough" that it sounds to me like he's done rather more than, uh, thoroughly check his facts.
(On top of everything else, I have a bunch of thoroughly tangled thoughts about the morality of the characters in this story, none of which I've so far managed to articulate, but Mycroft seems very...morally tainted after this story, one way or another.)
I do think your explanation of Moriarty's ties to the terrorists makes sense. I just watched it again and it's not made any clearer, but I like your explanation. Molly, I don't know--I mean, her job is a good one for someone who's interested in medicine but never wants to deal with patients, but you're right, let's at least demonstrate that she does have a comfort zone--have her find something significant on a body, whatever. There are few enough women in this show that it matters to me when one of them is such a lightweight character.
Have you read the fic where Molly is Moriarty's sister/collaborator? (It's called The Anatomist.) I'll link it for you if not--it's incredibly good.
