I flop back and forth on the subject of travel times. They really did seem to shrink the world, and it's unlikely the crew would be able to fight well after being exposed to the elements for so long, but then Dragons are conceivably really fast. I dunno.
I was also unsure about Gendry's run, and the possibility he'd get lost, but the wall is a hard landmark to miss. And while a single raven could get shot down, I don't think anyone's watching Eastwatch for outgoing messages, and Dragonstone has protections for incoming messages, ie dragons. I doubt anyone's got the balls to hang around outside Dragonstone with intent to intercept.
I think you underestimate the Stark sisters. They're feeling one another out. Arya's like that, she acts on her convictions rather than talking it out; she likes showing more than telling. She showed Sansa her strengths, then showed her trust by handing the dagger and turning her back.

Men and women have a hard time interacting without romantic overtones. That's life d00d. It would be unnatural for Jon and Dany to lack romantic tension.
