While I have got a few 'ideological' issues with it (read: while Zarek ends the illusion of democracy in the fleet once and for all, its decline actually started with Roslin and Adama...), it worked brilliantly as a piece of action-packed story-telling. And it was emotionally gut-wrenching as well. (I did cry during Gaeta's execution, ahem.)
Are they actually making Baltar (more of) a prophet now, or was the dream sequence just to illustrate the general train of logic everyone on the Cylon ship had to be following?
I think it was simply the latter. It was quite obvious that the mutineers were going to execute Adama, so Baltar doesn't need to be possessed of prophetic powers to come up with this idea.
Did Baltar actually show a glimmer of honor there?

Yes. Yes, he did. Boy is starting to grow up.
