I think they were trying to imply that Leia knew the "real Ben" and would have told Rey about him, and Rey loves Leia so much that she would love Ben too (which is nonsensical). Also, the only allure to the dark side for Rey was supposed to be Kylo -- and the reason they were mirrors of each other was because they both chose their identities regardless of family or lack thereof. So for Rey to just be like, Kylo you picked the wrong identity and I'm going to tell you who you are even though I never knew you before - was so disingenuous.
Yeah, it was cute to see Poe jealous. Either way, it was weird for them never to reveal what Finn was going to say. What's the point of keeping it a mystery? Especially since they ended with the core three hugging it out, which I was super surprised by. I half-expected Finn and Rey to kiss, and Poe to kiss Zorii. And they did have that f/f kiss thrown in, so it just seems like they were trying to cater to as many people as they could and leave everything open-ended.
Yes, totally! Poe's leadership skills and strategizing/planning skills should have really been at the forefront - these things make him much different right off the bat. I did love that the first thing he did was admit he needed help, though, and then get Finn involved. I don't know if Han would have ever done that.
