Spoiler: There is no way Dumbledore has his own horcrux. To make one, you have to murder someone. This allows you to split your soul in half. Dumbledore may kill in self defense but not murder and he'd never tear his soul apart.
I'm undecided about Snape's true loyalty. JRK is never that straightforward and the greatest wizard ever wouldn't be fooled so easily. It's entirely possible that Dumbledore was pleading not for his life, but for Snape to do what needed to be done. Snapes look of hate before the curse could have been hate for his 'master'
I think Dumbledore knew his time was up and that is the only reason he let Harry know so much.
