The demotion is allowed as he was already under IG investigation when he retired, It was certainly within Jackson's rights to ask for one but I doubt he really wants the publicity that would come with that.
You're correct in that he probably did not want a court martial. It's odd for a person that jacked up to make O-6. Anything beyond that becomes very political, but to make O-6 you have to be really squared away. Maybe the dude let the power go to his head after his appointment by Trump, maybe a mid life crisis? Who knows?
