I don't believe Dean thinks Sam needs forgiveness for any of those things any longer
It's a tricky one. They obviously needed to take Sam to a place where he reveals a fundamental truth about himself, so Dean had to say those things. It's hard to tell, I think, how much Dean meant it. With the season being all over the place with characterisations it's hard to know for sure if he was "joking" or whether those were still sticking point. Ghost!Dean said all those things to Sam early in the season and Sam just wore them (at the time is pissed me off royally). I think it revealed a lot about what Dean really thinks deep down. Well, that's how I think Sam sees it.
I'm pretty sure Jimmy has officially died, his soul moved on, etc.
I've never been sure about this. I think Misha might have said that he considers Jimmy still alive. In my mind he simply can't be. Hmmm...angels having souls when they don't have their grace. *head hurts* This season has reinvented canon so I'd say anything goes...
HA! Alive cave with Kevin thinking what the hell?! Poor Kevin. That poor needs a break.
I would LOVE to see more external conflict. If they DARE take the boys back to being at odd with each other for NO GOOD REASON I will scream! There's still ground to cover and issues to resolve, but hopefully they can do that without all the unnecessary drama.
I think at least they are in a fairly good place to pick it up without them fighting. Unless Sam does feel like he failed because he didn't finish the trail. ACK! too complicated. /o\
