I think Ben did the burning VW Bus thing, to get Sayid out of prison. Otherwise there would have been no possibility for him to do so.
And yes, Sawyer should have talked more to Juliet. They are such a good pair.
And I also think it marks his downfall, but I don't think that the act of shooting gave him a trauma or something like that. I think his personaly "downfall" is just caused by aquirering the leadership, and getting to know what he could be capable of (and as I said my Darth Vader theory)
Because he is a VERY strong manipulator. He does so many things, and sacrifices so much. I can't imagine anymore that his main motivation is just a lust for power. No Way. So he has a reason, which doesn't make him into a bad person, just one with morals minor to his goal, which is very important to him.
