I also feel really bad about Hide's fate, but I think that no matter the route of the story, he's bound to die as per Kaneki's tragic story, actually setting a turning point for it as you explain in your analysis, I do not expect for the old Kaneki to fully return, I assume he's a haunting ghost at best at the current story, having died at the hands of Arima. But at some point, Haise must face his past, including Hide's demise and get over it.

I think the person Touka is seeing at the hospital might be Kimi, who would have been wounded by Torso, and that's the reason Nishiki is currently hunting him down.
