Space time continuum logic is tricky in TV & film. It's best not to try and figure it out (or yes, you will indeed go in circles). There are many problems associated with it - parallel time lines, dimensions, the grandfather paradox etc.
I think that's why Hiro's story/timeline is difficult enough for the writers to sketch out.
I think we are to presume that Eden's power is rendered useless for Sylar to "absorb" as she essentially committed suicide by blowing her brains out.
Sylar's talent is seeing how things work and "fixing" them. From there, he was able to obtain other powers beginning with telekinesis from Bryan Davis. Other powers MAY include: freezing, speed, strength.
I am also confused to how he was able to resist Eden the second time around (in the cell).
Peter's illness is intriguing. Many of the heroes display a similar tendency for illness that seems to be related to their powers. EX: Matt, Ted both had headaches, Claire's coughing as a little girl. There seems to be a connection.
Maybe the cumulative effect of all that power is overwhelming Peter. We do know that in future episodes, Peter gains a mentor (Invisible Man) who helps him control his power. From the previews, it looks like Peter is in the hospital, maybe in a coma.
Peter's dream is not necessarily literal; it is often metaphorical or allusory (Peter is often referred to as the Dreamer). We already know Peter does not blow up or if he does, he lives because Future Hiro already came back and established that Peter was present in the future after the explosion.
Needless to say, January 22 seems like an eternity. I am doing all I can to resist pulling a Cartman and having myself frozen til the "future"......
