I agree with you on some points, but always read the car scene as Jack being a bit distraught over the flashes he was receiving from his past. He just wasn't in the mood to go "weevil hunting". To me there was still a relationship but their relationship was still at the level it was in season 1. Adam was Jack's confidant and Ianto merely his lover. He still cares for him but he goes to Adam with his troubles.
Ianto grown in a vat? Likely :) Gareth keeps making statements like that. Torchwood is all Ianto has, al he is. I do think out of all of them he is the most devoted to Torchwood. Torchwood is his whole world. Maybe he has good memories of his childhood, and after he lost his family he drifted to find himself. He found torchwood, a new family in Lisa. He clung to her and then he lost her just like he lost his family. After all this lost he forced himself to cling to a man he knew would never die on him. So could not hurt him that way. I bet his defining moment is Lisa because she gave him something he had gave up looking for. A sense of belonging, a family and love. When death came for her it brought back the loss of his family and maybe that's when he decided to cling to Jack to give him all of that. I know he was always attracted to Jack, but maybe Lisa's death is what pushed him closer to him. He replaced Lisa with Jack in a way. Does that make sense?
