1. Personally, I'd find it hilarious if the investor turned out to be Thrawn in disguise, but I don't think that's going to happen. I think it'd be interesting if the investor was something like a large crime syndicate - maybe the Hutts, or a new group that's taking over territory the Empire has pulled out of.
2. I think this is rather contrived, but I'm pinning my hopes on it being deliberate in some form, like the Imperial authorities deciding that now's an excellent opportunity to snap up some rich folks and exploit them. After all, there are bound to be industry figures, diplomats and the like on the ship...
3. It feels like the card game is an excuse to introduce us to people who're going to be important, but I'm hoping that it'll turn out that the ship is part commercial enterprise, part found-family.
4. The Han and Leia scenes feel a little prophetic; Han's struggling to find ways to be useful. The fact that he's spending most of his time gambling below decks feels a bit on the nose while Leia's having to deal with the aristocracy. I do like that they're arguing in part because Han's trying to be helpful!
