Well, re. the "I'm saving Karakura Town! Wait, no, I'm saving Inoue!" thing--
I think in the chapter in which Ichigo was all about saving Karakura Town... he knew the following things -- Karakura Town was in immediate danger, Inoue wasn't. She was at least comparatively safe.
But in 315, with Ulquiorra appearing, what I personally read as happening is Ichigo thinking -- well, "I can't let this dangerous person be near Inoue". In his mind, Inoue is now also in immediate danger, so he has to save her. And then there's the whole issue of literally not being able to get out to save Karakura Town, yadda yadda yadda.
I was actually kind of thrown by that myself at first, but thinking about it that flip-flopping, at least, does make a kind of sense. Can't comment on the rest of it as I haven't read the whole chapter yet XD
