Going back to the Mitchell calling Daniel Jackson issue for the moment, the more I think about it, I forgot to mention the trigger.
Mitchell went into see Daniel introducing himself on a more casual first-name basis as did Daniel. It wasn't until Daniel said, "I know we owe you one..." that Mitchell had a flashback and changed his demeanor. "Listen Jackson, I don't want you to stay because you think you owe me one." Mitchell's tone snapped into officer mode at this point. Then he says, "Unless of course, you're considering it." Giving a slightly lighter tone but a way out none-the-less.
This was a really fantastic scene acted by the two men... Watch Daniel's indecision - written all over his face - as he reflects on the debt. It was Mitchell's intent to extend a little distance between them, to give Daniel the choice. He wants a team that wishes to work with him and not from any sense of obligation. Ben's switch in tone and manner here were fantastic. From this, I feel that Mitchell's definitely waiting for Daniel to offer to take it to a more informal level again when he's ready and of his own free will. (Fits right in with this season's theme! ).

Wow good catch!Will have to go back and rewatch but that's very subtle but also very logical!
