Keller was not saying Sheppard views compassion as a weakness. She was saying he shows it in different ways (with different tools). Saving lives (the lives of the expedition members and the other humans in the galaxy) is what drives Sheppard (see Remnants for more on that).
Her conversation with Todd here stemmed from her comment that she didn't mean this (the Wraith being infected) to happen which Todd laughed at. If Sheppard (and the expedition) had meant to kill the Wraith with that serum (that, again, Todd stole), they could have. What they were attempting was to keep the Wraith alive. That's compassion which Todd saw as weak.
And Keller was right about Sheppard. He let Todd go. Did he benefit from it? *shrugs* If Todd lives and if he doesn't doublecross them again. But Sheppard was willing to take the risk. Why? To save lives.

Todd and Sheppard are not friends. They are not brothers. They are not colleagues or co-workers or allies. They are two beings who distrust each other but are forced to work together occasionally to defeat the things in the galaxy that are worse. They are cautiously trying to make a way for their peoples to live in peace.
