So Gus was willing to risk everything just for an extra 3% purity and the blue color for the meth??

I thought that was very much the point of the flashback (aside from setting up the boxcutter and tragically re-emphasizing Gale's obsequiousness). Gus was right in the first place to turn down Walt and stick with the more reliable Gale, who was turning out product of a sufficient purity. He let greed/fastidiousness get the better of him, reconsidered Walt, and the rest is history.

Was there a scene that showed Walt putting his wallet back in his pocket after Tuco went through it in his house? I always thought it was sitting on the table when him and Jesse escaped and they never resolved it, but maybe I'm wrong.

Walt and Jesse are briefly shown recollecting their things.
