1. Learning something about Tre's past via him just telling us about it didn't make a huge impression on me, perhaps in part because his description was still pretty vague. It also doesn't really seem to have thrown our main protagonist off-stride at all. Compared to the descriptions of the effect of the Je'ddai bombardment during the war on the domed cities, it felt a bit... thin?
2. I don't know if I believe that the destruction of the city was part of Dal's plans, but I think it'd be interesting if it was, because it shows that for all that he seems to hate the Force, his actions are producing the same consequences.
3. One of the things I find I like about the Je'ddai concept is that there are people who leave, and while the expectation seems to be that they'll wither away, there are at least some still around causing problems. One of the things touched on in the comics (but not so far in the novels) is that there are Je'ddai who leave the order to have children, some of whom then return to the order later on - there doesn't seem to be the prohibition on relationships that the Jedi would impose later.
The comics don't really go into a huge amount of detail about the war that saw those domed cities on Nox destroyed, but the Queen who led the opposing forces was popular, and there are strong divisions between her followers andthe Je'ddai, with a lot of people staying neutral.
One thing I saw and wanted to remember to mention; did you catch the mention of the "Tho Yor" floating around the high temple? The Tho Yor are floating ships that look like 8-sided dice... and they're the ships that brought the ancestors of the peoples in the Tython system here.
