Mostly I agree with your comments, my one caveat being that I'm not sure Hiro knows that Adam can be killed by chopping off his head a la Highlander. Everyone else and their mother knows, but Hiro doesn't as far as we saw. So maybe what he did was considered necessary by him? Eh, it's still really dark and bleak and I hope there are some characterization consequences from it.
I kind of felt it interesting that Claire and Nathan had the same plan, however Claire's was best on revenge and when she got her Dad back that stopped her (and also he was effectively the Company's hostage at that point just she is for him - both are hostage to the other's life). Nathan was acting to take down what he saw as a very dangerous organization and so he couldn't be stopped without literally stopping him - although as his mother pointed out, what he did say and then him being killed could have opened a big Pandora's Box for the reporters to investigate.
Of course, at this point I'm all for forgetting this volume so...
